lol, you believe this?

Do I believe that about four months ago the Democratic Party made a desperate move to replace the incumbent candidate and there were very few viable options at the time? Yes, I believe that, because we just went through it about four months ago. It’s pretty much political suicide to withdraw an incumbent candidate. You don’t plan that from the beginning, because that would be a stupid plan. It was very likely “planned” as in “plan B,” but it’s kind of idiotic to think that it was plan A. The primary was not hijacked, the incumbent is always the candidate. Primaries are always a formality for the incumbent party.

lol. And the DNC didn’t shill for Hilary Clinton in 2016 over Bernie Sanders

Nope, that DID happen. But you are ignoring the obvious reality in this case.

Please, you’re ignoring that the very obvious deduction that DNC didn’t want an open primary.

And you’re ignoring history and the way the parties have always worked when they have the incumbent
