    It’s the voters fault that whoever wins, wins.

    Hey, you got that part right. It is up the voters to pick the winner. Which is why it’s up to the party to pick a candidate that can earn the votes to win.

      Here I thought it was up to the voters to pick a candidate. Silly me.

        It is up to the voters… Hence the choice of the word “party” there and not DNC. The party includes the DNC and their members (their primary voters). Silly you indeed.

          Okay, so your argument, then, is that Democratic voters are wrong for picking Joe Biden, not the DNC. Right? It’s their fault.

            If a party chooses a candidate that loses, yes it is the parties fault. Its the DNC that put their thumb on the scale and not encouraging others to run against Biden and it’s their voters fault for not picking someone else.

            Ultimate if Biden loses you can blame the voters and keep putting up candidates the voters don’t want, or the party can decide to adapt to what the majority of voters want. In a winner takes all, FPTP voting system it’s really that simple.
