(45,251 posts)that facilely. There were a lot of factors, not simply McGovern's liberality. The same with Reagan's defeat of Carter. No, it was NOT because a primary challenge is a sin. And the Supreme Court gave us Bush, after many more Democrats in Florida crossed over to vote for Dimson than crossed over to vote for Nader.
I don't know why some DUers want to pretend that these facile memes are truths chiseled by God in stone and handed down to Moses on the mountain, but they are not chiseled in stone or anything close to accurate or sophisticated political analysis. To the contrary, they are oversimplified to a laughable extreme. Made up bs to keep the country moving right, no matter which party wins. Koch brothers wet dream, which is why they helped found BOTH the DLC and the Tea Party, but starting with the DLC.
