    It’s the DNS’s responsibility to put pressure on the candidate that wasn’t sure if they were going to run to not run because the polls showed him getting beat.

    So now it is the DNC’s responsibility to put pressure on the scales to change the candidate…

    It’s also their responsibility to not change the primaries to heavily favor one candidate like making South Carolina (the place where Biden’s luck in 2019 changed) the first official primary.

    … except when it’s not? Very coherent, 10/10 worldview.

    And that is also the DNC’s problem. They didn’t put forth a viable candidate in the primaries despite all the polling suggesting they should.

    “They didn’t put forth”

    Tell me you don’t understand primaries without telling me you don’t understand primaries. Not to mention that explicitly contradicts your previous point about not wanting the DNC to pick the candidates. Jesus fucking Christ. We’re done here.

      Here let me point out the parts you seemed to have missed:

      not run because the polls showed him getting beat.

      not change the primaries to heavily favor one candidate

      despite all the polling suggesting they should

      The polls showed they shouldn’t favor the candidate they did. They chose against what was obvious instead of encouraging others to run they picked their favored candidate before it even started.

      “They didn’t put forth”

      You’re right, the wording there isn’t correct. It should be that they didn’t encourage others to run.

      We’re done here.

      Unfortunately it appears the voters are thinking the same thing. That’s why it’s the party’s responsibility field the best candidate.

          Yeah, that’s what I would expect from someone who expects voters to toe the line for the party instead of blaming the party for a bad candidate. Do as you say or be ignored right?
