Trump isn’t some mythical Boogeyman who only Biden can beat. That’s not my gut feeling, that’s what the recent electoral results and polling data shows us.
But putting that aside, that doesn’t mean the DNC should be rigging primaries because they think they know best. That’s how Trump won in 2016, and why we just witnessed Biden sun downing on a debate stage.
I don’t mean by literally stuffing ballots, but via mostly boring administrative and bureaucratic maneuvering. Although, some state Democratic parties did actually cancel their Presidential primaries entirely, which frankly should be illegal.
Nothing I’m saying is breaking news. This was covered at the time, and has seen a small resurgence in coverage since the debate.
I think The Lever actually just republished the reporting they ran at the time.
That’s what primaries are for.
Unfortunately, Biden and the DNC didn’t feel that aspect of party democracy was convenient for them this year, so…well, here we are.
The primaries aren’t going to help if there isn’t a person who can beat Trump.
