    So you are admitting they were previously less democratic and could be more democratic?

      I don’t know if I would label it “admitting,” but rather just being aware of history. Parties didn’t start having votes until around WWII, and after all of the hand wringing after the 2008 and 2016 primaries, Democrats voted overwhelmingly to dilute their power even more.

      Making 2020 the most democratic primary for Democrats ever.

        Did you mean 2024 or are you saying the recent primaries were less democratic (e.g. incumbent advantage).

          Didn’t really include them because they aren’t concluded yet, but the rules have not changed.
