    I would love a real second primary with an array of candidates not all of whom were preselected by the billionaires. And a large inclusive debate or two. Is that what you are suggesting?

    Yes.

    Sorry - I thought “throw open” was a commonly understood phrase.

    It means to open something suddenly and completely - no incremental stages and no limitations - just immediately from closed to fully and completely open.

      I know what the phrase means but I didn’t dare to believe such an optimistic soul could exist. You proved my doubts were unwarranted.

      Very cool, and I support your idea 120%! I believe it is possible because the DNC just routinely makes up rules on the go, so nothing’s stopping them from opening a second primary. I would be super interested if it were a truly open and a properly democratic primary.
