    Okay then, next was SC and Nevada. How far do we have to go before we see these changes? And who was the contender that was hurt by the changes?

      Here’s all the changes.

      Literally anyone could’ve been a contender. We don’t know who they are, because the party never wanted to seriously entertain anyone other than Biden.

      Contrast that with what the Republicans did. They had several debates with anyone who felt like giving it a shot. Trump decided he didn’t need participate, and was right. The Democrats could have done similar but refused to.

      Biden is too elderly. Trump is too many kinds of wrong. Most people know this. If the Democratic party figures out that Biden is almost the only candates weaker than trump, they’ll be able to win.

        So, that’s pretty much the same order as always, not seeing how that helps anyone.

        And you can look up who runs if you want. You do not need to see debates to figure it out, someone announces after they file their paperwork, then its up to them to convince people to support them. You’re pretending like the DNC needs to do all this work to serve us up a platter of great options, but ignoring that it’s the candidates that determine how they get received. Don’t forget, most Americans still hate the idea of communism, too, even if they don’t actually know what it is.

        This conspiracy theory nonsense is getting tiresome. The real world isn’t that simple.

          That’s a very capitalistic form of democracy. Candates need to pull themselves up by their boot straps.

          While the Republicans promote socialistic politics, giving candates universal basic airtime.

          I get it now.

            I’d say both the parties are pretty capitalist. The repubs were interested in finding their challenger, they didn’t know who it would be yet. The dems, all the way down to the majority of voters, were interested in supporting their incumbent, not interested in a chaotic primary fight.

            I think that’s still largely the case.
