  I’m aware. I also know that the DNC (the centralized organization) has a lot of influence through things like superdelegates. Look at the 2016 primary- openly colluding with Hillary against Bernie, and it worked.

    And then of course in 2020 they colluded behind the scenes to have all the candidates drop out except Biden, Bernie, and Elizabeth Warren(Left in to split the progressive vote).

    But you know these blue maga types, they prefer to leave reality off the table so they can pretend this is a functioning democracy.

    And in 2024…Oh right… No choice to be had.

      only registered democrats are allowed to vote

      It’s free, and you can do it either online, or by mail, or in person. What the “I would vote but don’t know how to buy stamps” bullshit argument is that?

        That not everybody registers democrat for one reason or another, and are left out of the democratic process. Which people like you choose to ignore because it makes your arguments less sound.

        My state only lets you vote in primaries to the party you’re registered to. So I cannot vote in the Republican primary at all which means I get no representation from them even if I think they’re all fucking mad.

    In the whole history of DNC’s existence, there was, as far as I remember, two instances of DNC choosing a candidate against popular vote. One was more than a century ago nobody remembers nobody cares, and another one was when they chose Obama even though he lost almost a percent. And that turned out to be actually a good and correct decision.
    When Hilary, was nominated, both times Biden was nominated, it was always aligned with a popular vote. We don’t know what superdelegates would’ve done, but what we know is that so far they do exactly what democratic party voters want them to do. If you want them to do something else, and god fucking knows we all do, you can start by actually showing them that.
    Either there is not enough people agree with your desires, or enough of them do and they don’t do anything about it. In both cases DNC isn’t a problem, you are.

  You mean like when they de-facto forced Bernie out top-down?

  • AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    And how they booted David Hogg after he was elected as vice chair of the DNC. Tried to say his nomination was void or some other bullshit after they realized he wasn’t just going to tow the party line.

  I asked this question elsewhere, but who did you vote for President in the Democratic Party Primaries in 2024?

  • prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    There definitely was a 2024 primary

    source

    • ViceroTempus@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I didn’t say there wasn’t a primary. I asked who did you vote for President in said primary?

      source

      • prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        I didn’t vote in the 2024 primary because the Democrats had an incumbent candidate, and never in my life has either major party weakened their own position by running viable candidates against them in the primary.

    You seem to hung up on the fact that presidential nominee that both DNC and the democratic party voters chose got health issues and the party chose his running mate and a person who got second place on primaries to be the next candidate, instead of starting the primaries 3 months before the election.
    And that’s technically true, but what to you think they should’ve done instead? Or are you doing it from the perspective of a pure internet argument? Like, “see, sometimes the candidate you chose gets sick therefore the democracy doesn’t exist” type shit?
