I might be misremembering, but didn’t the DNC pull the “we don’t have to abide by the primary results” card? Or was that just when they pushed Hillary?
That was Hillary, and not only that, they argued that in court and won. The primaries are, sadly, kind of a joke.
In 2020, Biden was fifth least popular, only slightly ahead of ‘Mike’ Bloomberg. The DNC circled the wagons after Bernie won the first three contests, handed out favors to the more popular candidates in order to drop out and endorse Biden, and made it Biden vs Bernie.
They also did some pretty shitty bits of swift-boating, most notably on the CNN debate when they just pretended that Elizabeth Warren’s allegations of misogyny were true and left her mic on so she could confront Bernie on camera about it.

The whole thing was pretty sickening.
