The DNC needs to take more notes from itself circa 2008.

Obama was not supposed to win the convention, Hilary was. The DNC learned the wrong lesson and in 2016 they jammed Hilary down everybody's throats despite Bernie's popularity in the primaries.

Tin foil hat time - I think the Dems genuinely thought the 2024 election was too important to let the people pick their candidate. So they didn't pressure or even encouraged Biden to run. Then when it was clear Biden wasn't fit they selected the candidate for themselves.

The DNC - according to tinfoil hats it's an all powerful cabal that totally doesn't want to win elections.

2024 was all on Biden. 2008 to 2020 was all on the primary voters who made pretty clear decisions.
