I remember when Markos railed against the Third Way Democrats, and now he shouts to the world that he's proud to be one of them. His site is full of "lol look what cartoonishly evil thing the dumb republicans did this week" so as to keep people from paying attention to how the party is full of rot and is falling apart at a pivotal moment.
The whole point of voter ID laws is so that Republicans can keep their political opponents out of the democratic process unless they satisfy an arbitrary demand. The whole point of closed primaries is for the dominant party of the state (out of 33 states with closed or mixed primaries, only six of them are "swing states") to keep their political opponents out of the democratic process unless they satisfy an arbitrary demand. From where I stand, both positions are separate but equally disenfranchising, and the end result for both parties is the same: it allows the mismanaging elites of both parties safety from outside challenge. As Markos' final statement makes perfectly clear, he wants those elites to fear no democratic challenge at all, not even from the likes of loyal partisans like you who invest their time and money.
But go on telling yourself it's because Hillary Clinton is a woman.
