Eh... While Hilary and her shills definitely rigged that primary, it took her 8 solid years to get her people into all the positions of power throughout the DNC and state Dem parties so they could shove her down our throats... I don't think her minion infrastructure is still in place like it was then... And I think it was more her controlling the party that made the party undemocratic, than about the party itself actually being fully undemocratic.

She doesn't have any people. There is a complete changeover of delegates every 4 years. The 2020 delegates and the 2024 delegates were Biden's people.

than about the party itself actually being fully undemocratic.

Here in America reality matters. The Party Charter completely contradicts your Trumpian level of lies. Nice try Ivan.

Section 4. The delegates shall be chosen through processes which: (a) assure all Democratic voters full, timely and equal opportunity to participate and include affirmative action programs toward that end, (b) assure that delegations fairly reflect the division of preferences expressed by those who participate in the Presidential nominating process

I wasn't talking about delegates. I was talking about state and national party leadership. For example: Debbie Wasserman Schultz

I don't know that I agree.

These DNC insiders, more than most, have had a front-row seat for the very public cognitive decline that Joe Biden has displayed over the last 2-3 years, and they crowned him anyway. If he hadn't had that very public break on national television, things would be very different now. They couldn't stage manage his brain melting.

I think they want a useful idiot president they can maneuver around the board every bit as much as the Trump's handlers do.

By DC insiders do you mean Clinton people?
