Democrats are remarkably good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Stupid shit like this is what hurts the actual elections because they either throw temper tantrums about not being first, or try to force people to toe the party line in completely unnecessary circumstances.
They did this in 2016 by forcing Hillary down our throats (she may or may not have won a legitimate primary, but when all the super delegates preemptively go for one candidate, it kind of tells their voters to suck a dick, they’ll decide what’s best), and look what happened. Now they’re in another race where it’s the Dem’s election to lose, and they’re fighting to do so.
The Dem’s motto should be good plan, terrible execution.
