I mean. I despise Menendez and wish neither of them were running, but the idea that Ds are somehow running worse or more problematic candidates than Rs is.. well, let's just say that picking quality people does not seem a priority.

That's not the point of the article, at least not locally (JC/Hudson county). But more of a problem for the Democratic Party as a whole, just look at the treatment of Bernie Sanders in the last two presidential primaries. Or look at Shamey Amy, this type of collision is a problem nationwide.
Jr. will definitely win and it won't even be close. But this type of mafia mentality will affect more close elections in NJ and the country.

I'll take the D party treatment of Sanders (who is not a D) over the R party treatment of Cheney or Pence.
Listen, it's shit all the way down on both sides, but there is not real equivalence between the parties at the moment, corruption, nepotism, integrity of the system. There's no area where the shittiness of Ds is in the same universe as the current shittiness of the Rs.

And yet they let him campaign in the Democratic presidential primaries 🤷🏻
I agree with the second part, Democrats are the lesser of the two evils but, we should have better options.

Thanks, I did not know that. FWIW, my meaningless primary vote went to Sanders.

What did Democrats do wrong to Bernie Sanders in the 2020 primaries?

Even if you don't believe Elizabeth Warren's claim, that hardly equates to "the Democratic Party as a whole" mistreating Bernie Sanders, much less a "mafia mentality." That's just a candidate lying about a rival's position, aka the thing that happens over and over again in every election ever.
Frankly, if the party really wanted to play dirty they just wouldn't have let Sanders run for the Democratic nomination in the first place, since he's not a member.

In 2016 Bernie got 36% of the votes in the New Jersey. Only one elected politician in New Jersey endorsed him that year and he's out of office now. Doesn't add up.
You can also look into the lawsuit that happened in Florida after 2016. Where their defence was that they're a private organization and don't need to have fair primaries. Not that there was no collusion, just that they can if they want to.

I'm assuming that you're referring to John Wisniewski, who is out of office because he ran for governor and lost (without Bernie Sanders' endorsement, I'd add.) Hardly a massive conspiracy there.
I also don't see how that 2016 lawsuit -- which was dismissed with prejudice -- proves any kind of party-wide attack against Bernie's 2020 campaign.
I get that you oppose the Democratic party, which is fair enough, but this is a pretty thin case. The majority rules.

I'm a registered Democrat and vote in every primary, I just want them to do better.
If you want to believe there is no collusion, nepotism or wrongdoing in the Democratic party, then go ahead I guess.

Yeah, I'll take a piece of shit who votes along with what I believe in 90% of the time over a fascist who'll vote to hurt my friends and family just because they choose to live in a nontraditional way and destroy the environment.
