You seem to be using the phrase primaried radically different than I’ve ever seen it used before. The verb to primary someone typically means to Target them specifically for removal by supporting a candidate who more closely matches your ideals. If that doesn’t sound like a purity test I don’t know what does. We’re not talking about choice. You specifically said that you wanted to primary them. You want to Target them for removal, presumably for their blatant corruption and voting with fascists. I agree with 100%. However what is that if not a purity test? Frankly it’s a purity test I think should always be applied I expect all of my candidates to not be fascists. There’s nothing wrong with certain Purity tests.
Yes its a more general general usage. But it still stands. Power that is secure is power to corrupt. What better way is there to get your concerns and philosophy out there. If you gain traction in the primary. Even if you lose, the winner of the primary will often adopt popular positions.
It’s got nothing to do with purity. It’s just about challenging power and promoting participation. Purity test implies pushing a specific agenda. But that isn’t what I was advocating for.
