The 2016 primaries were pretty much a coronation for Hillary despite her not being as popular compared to others running against her. If the DNC were more honest and went with real popularity over forcing someone in that the lobbyists want, they’d be in less of a mess. The DNC forcing candidates on people is how you end up with Biden in the first place. For the longest time, the DNC gaslit voters on his mental capacity, and now it’s biting them back. The DNC not having a coronation for their candidate in all but name would be more surprising. The RNC, for all its faults, at least lets overall popularity be one of the main factors for presidential candidates.I like how the save democracy crowd are totally ok with a presidential candidate no one voted for and with removing third parties from the ballot.
