Democratic Party leadership has known this to be a factor for decades, and has steadfastly refused to adapt to the existing political reality.

Until it doesn’t.
Democrats used to trust polls, too. Now they only trust them if they confirm existing biases.
Yeah, they’ve been uploading the back catalog to youtube. It’s nostalgic to see all the problems John Oliver went into depth over that still haven’t been addressed.
You’re always trying to say they are the same.
He says in the comments section of an article that was posted to justify overlooking Biden’s debate performance because Trump has similar evidence of cognitive decline.
“You’re just saying both candidates are the same!” to all criticism from the left is inconsistent with “Biden’s fine! See, both candidates are the same.”
Seems to me that the model has some blind spots.
She is, yes, but that wasn’t the question. The question was about name recognition, which Whitmer has.
I wouldn’t be great with Newsom, either, since he’s been moving to the right to appease the republican-adjacent wing of the party. But either would be an improvement over Biden, who in turn is still preferable to Trump.
So even in the absolute worst case interpretation of this, there is nothing about the DNC claiming the right to dismiss its delegates.
Deciding in smoke filled rooms involves ignoring the charter entirely. Which the party argued in court that they could do. But they can’t now. Because centrist.
Russia didn’t force them to make that argument in court.
If you ever have a thought that isn’t a Clinton/Biden/Netanyahu talking point, let me know.
The only person to get that point in this century was Obama, and only in 2008.
The only one to win the Democratic primaries, at least.
Since then, his signature legislation has failed to pass as intended, he’s broken a strike, he’s supported a genocide, he’s moved to the right on immigration, and he’s claimed to have defeated Medicare. He’s alienated his base and demonstrated that people who were fretting about his age might have been on to something after all.
He beat Trump in a nail-biting squeaker of a contest in 2020, and centrists have been pretending he’s invincible ever since.
I think Godwin’s Law died out around the time the actual Nazis came back.
Which is why you chose to call someone to your left a nazi.
It’s actually sort of difficult to talk about some elements of politics and media in the present day without referring to the historical parallels, and one particular parallel is absolutely significantly more parallel than the others.
You just wanted to call me a fucking nazi.
You can’t have failed to notice the “bOtH sIdEs” strawman that lemmy’s centrists throw around.
For people who mock “both sides”-ism even when it isn’t present, democrats sure love to use “both sides” as a justification for overlooking Biden’s flaws.
The only individual characteristic that matters is incumbency,
The incumbent lost in 2020. There may be other factors.
Conversation’s over. Godwin.

Here’s your fucking link. Now don’t read it, immediately dismiss it and demand even more granular proof of what I initially said.
She’s not even there no more. She is not “the DNC”.
Considering that the entire reason they were in court revolved arounf the 2016 election, her corruption was going to be central. The party argued that their charter didn’t have to be followed, and the judge agreed and dismissed the case. Which you already know and are ignoring in bad faith now that it’s convenient to do so for the centrist wing of the party.
Your wing of the party. If every bad faith centrist who claims they voted for Sanders in the primary actually had, Sanders would have won both the primaries and the general.
You’re just a Republican here to tell us no matter what Biden is the only option besides trump?
This is lemmy, yes.
As to ‘its just a bad debate’ - it is the worst presidential debate in modern history. That’s a tough thing to climb out from.
Not to mention, there’s only 2 debates. Best Biden can do now is 1-1.
It would do even more harm if people were more aware of how China is able to make things so inexpensively. Amazon and Walmart have standardized obfuscating slave labor.
And Etsy has turned obfuscating slave labor into a side hustle. What bleak times we inhabit.
Behind Closed Doors is a magical land where Democrats do all the shit they ran on and are personable and charismatic.
