Look folks can hate on the DNC all they want but the primary purpose of the organization is to select a presidential nominee and get them elected. They get to set the rules! It’s all the other stuff that’s arguably superfluous!
I am nihilistic about this. Poll coverage is like cocaine to Twitter/media. Topline numbers are too juicy for people on here to pause and analyze methodology/motives/crosstabs critically. Unfortunately, you just gotta ride the waves.

Did manage to get my main 2028 #take in here which is ⬇️
“If we thought 2020 was a clusterfuck, this is going to put that to shame.”

- No real front-runner (will KH run?)
- a DNC unable to manage the process
- much, much more
