The Democratic primary is more or less a show, since the democratic party refused to hold a proper primary.
It’s ‘more or less a show’ because there’s an incumbent running and no politician with any sense or career aspirations is challenging an incumbent president in a primary; not because the Democratic Party decided they were just going to skip the primary this year for funsies. If it was that easy for the DNC to skip out when they wanted to, Hillary would have been crowned without opposition in 2015-2016.

Otherwise, good writeup.
