Democrats will not let people choose candidates because that may be too dangerous for their interests. We'll never get good candidates as long as the current leadership is in control.

Do you not have primaries where you are?

What position was Kamala Harris in the DNC Primaries before she was appointed as the General Election Candidate? First place? Second Place?

Surely she must have been in the top 3?

Not sure what you think they should have done? There is no way to reorganize primaries that late in the year.

It totally sucks that nobody tried to convince Biden not to run again before the primaries started though.

Plenty tried, old Joe thought he’ll clutch it out again. People were trying to dissuade him from running in 2023 already.

Denying that the democrats had two high-profile situations where the “wrong” candidate ended up running is denying the obvious. It’s manifest that Obama wasn’t to win the primary, and that the superdelegates exist for reasons.
