Not like democrat primaries have ever represented the will of the voters the last ten years
There is a difference between moving the goalposts and asking leading questions to narrow down a very broad stance.
Yes, I am aware of the court case after the 2016 primaries. The case was tossed out because the plantiffs did not have a case, and the court had no jurisdiction. Why fight a battle of opinions when the plain facts invalidate the case? The DNCs lawyers knew this and had it thrown out categorically.
What is missing (frustratingly) every time I see someone bring up this point is that the candidate that was more popular with Democratic primary voters won the nomination. As far as I’m aware, this is the case for every candidate the DNC has selected I’m every single primary. I can understand people saying that the DNC does not support all their candidates equally during and after their primaries, but I do not understand them leading others on to the idea that the DNC is ignoring its voters and selecting candidates without any regard to whom it’s voters want.
None of this strikes me as moving goalposts, it’s a natural progression of discovery and inquiry, otherwise every conversation would just be two people copy-pasting the exact same thing back and forth.
