So that's who the democrats will run in 2028

Irritatingly plausible. I'm going to be stoked if we get another election at all though.

We will. A free and fair one, though? Outlook not so good.

If it makes you feel any better, the US has never had a free or fair election.

That can certainly be argued, but they at least had (incredibly shitty) rules that were followed. Now they won't even have that.

Well we'll have an actual primary if there's an election so if he gets through a democratic primary, that's on democrat voters. I also don't think he wants to run.

very funny to see the results of the last few dem primaries and still think that voters choose who the candidate will be

Voters not seeing that they're getting played is its own problem. DNC can push whoever, up to voters to decide whether to follow or push back.

The RNC tried to push Jeb or Rubio in 2016, Republicans put in Trump instead.
