Since the term is ill-defined, you could answer either way and anyone would have a difficult time responding.

> when theyre called to respond to evidence of manipulation in the primaries they literally say the parties have a "right" to manipulate the primaries process.

They literally say that because it is literally true. The parties may endorse whatever candidate they decide to endorse. The parties are not the government; the only issue (in my view) is that they are recognized and sanctioned by the government, so the two large parties get FEC support, their candidates are automatically added to the ballot (and other candidates usually have to collect signatures), and their primary voting is done by the same blend of taxpayer-funded bureaucracies and volunteer labor. Jefferson and Washington were opposed to parties but they eventually wormed their way in. Other parties do the same, you know,

Not what "fascism" means.

This thread is fascism, you're doing a fascism on me. I say it's pointless to fixate on the term, I ask you to define the term, and then you just steam-roll and insist that $x is fascist or that $y is fascist. This is a blitzkrieg, you're Hitlering the thread, your post was a Molotov-Ribbentrop Ottoman Franco Holocaust Night of the Long Knives Reactionary Tankie, you got your Stalin in my Mussolini.
