Ironically they’re making Donald Trump argument here. They’re saying we should have stopped the count after just a New England’s primaries. I guess New Hampshire is all we need to decide the nation’s votes?
that’s not at all what is being said here. the DNC had to pull all sorts of undemocratic shenanigans to forcefully prop up biden back in 2020 and we’re still paying the price of having these uninspiring losers as our only options
That’s exactly what is being said here. Because the only “shenanigans” was that a number of people (who were losing) dropped out before super Tuesday. That’s it. From then on it was a straight up vote between Sanders and Biden and Sanders lost. Less people voted for him. That’s just democracy man. Sanders had a slight edge early on before most places and people had a chance to vote. When everyone else voted he lost. That’s exactly the same argument as “stop the count”.
Fifth place but won the nomination?

if sanders was in first and biden fifth, how were the ones that dropped out losing?
and how many of those that dropped out ended up with some sort of position of power under biden?
you’re also willfully ignoring the fact that the dnc purposefully kept in person voting going during the height of the pandemic
