The DNC is a corporation.
Corporate Democrats fear democracy.
If things don't go according to script, sabotage commences.
The character assassination attempts against the Sanders campaign right before IOWA caucus was only the first stage. Warren accusing Sanders of sexism was a dirty tactic that backfired and old perv. and Patriot Act architect Uncle Joe resonates with exactly no one under 65.
The DNC is terrified that their cookie-cutter corporate candidates are falling flat on their cardboard faces.
In a way this is fun to watch - but it makes a mockery of democracy as you point out.
We don't live in a democracy though, we live in a plutocracy/oligarchy and we have no influence over the controlled democratic process as it currently stands.
The script became Buttigieg is a surprise winner, Sanders supporters are sore losers and conspiracy theorists, while Biden's flop is swept under the rug. The eventual vote totals will hardly be mentioned. The narrative managers are masters at crafting dramatic storylines to suit their agenda.
Precisely, well summarized!
Exactly that! Thanks for the perfect summary @skepticology !
You're right of course: in a way this mockery IS fun to watch... I really appreciate you stopping by and commenting @v4vapid, thanks so much !
