MODERATORS
The parties don't care what people want/need. Occasionally putting the lipstick on the pig fools too many people for them to care.
voters select these candidates via primaries and general election, though.
Yeah, just look at the DNC and Bernie. Clearly chosen by the voters and not at all manipulated by the party to get the result they wanted.
He lost the popular vote by more than 10%.
We're you paying attention during the primaries? Everywhere pushed the narrative that he couldn't beat Trump enough that people believed it and voted for Biden in the primaries.
