The DNC picks the winner, not the voters. The DNC took the issue to federal courts in 2016, where the courts ruled in favor of the DNC holding the ultimate right to choose the candidate for the general election. So why waste all the time and money for nonsense theater?
Voting is a sham on the public, in general. At the presidential level, all viable candidates are acceptable to the globalists, all are crooked. This has been the paradigm until Trump appeared and was able to gin up public support, in large part due to his pre-existing celebrity, and also on account of his personal wealth.
The political parties generally block anti-globalists, so the public nevers gets to elect an anti-globalist.
I agree with your assessment.
I do not believe any of the current campaigners will be the nominee. None has the charisma required to win the Presidency.
I think Bloomberg might be the DNC favored guy. Bloomberg is where all the others are nots. My original thought was Hillary but No longer think that is possible.
Because DNC white liberal elites who pick 'the winner' don't want it to look like they're picking the winner. It's called 'fooling most of the democrats' all of the time.
While that is true Bernie’s faction will split off from the Democrat party if Bernie is a contender and the Democrat Convention nominates someone who didn’t even compete in the primaries. I look forward to the Socialists running Bernie Sanders or perhaps Tulsi Gabbard in the fall.
I do believe that the Democrat nominee just might come in third.
