The DNC did count primary votes. What evidence is there to the contrary? Are you talking about the superdelegate system that some argue kept Bernie from being the candidate in 2016 and that was subsequently eliminated? Yeah they still counted very vote in 2016 and Hillary had more. I didn't like it either, but knew plenty people who were excited about her.
The DNC blocked a presidential primary from happening like 8 months ago...
No they didn't
Keep telling yourself that while these political geniuses lose every non-midterm election of the rest of your life, empowering the GOP for decades to come. At least they did nothing wrong and it's the voters' fault.
I didn't say that at all. The entire system is awful and the Democratic leadership is awful. At the same time, the DNC counted every vote and there was a democratic primary in 2024.
In which they threatened all viable opposition to keep them out of the primary, leading the sole entrant to be a quixotic ice cream millionaire who didn't plan to run for reelection so he didn't care about threats to end his political career from the party. You know, democracy.
Who did they threaten?
I'm not going to debate religion with a zealot. Go worship your perfect party while they hand the GOP victory.
You clearly haven't read anything I said if you think that, given I just talked about how awful they are. I prefer to base my opinions on reality rather than making shit up, though. If they threatened someone, you'd have a simple question to answer. Instead you went for my character, so what does that say about you?
