You say that like they don’t have the power to oversee where funds go and have the power to pull levers and promote/push certain candidates. They should never be forgiven for what they did in 2016 and they were doing wild manipulations in 2024. Also the fact they refuse to release the report they commissioned themselves on why they lost in 2024 bc it would obviously make them look bad bc it would reveal that 1) voters want different candidates than them and 2) make it clear Harris was a bad move

The DNC sets the tone and has the ability to lock away its funding from candidates it doesn’t want and in conjunction with leadership in Congress it can prop up candidates to primary people they don’t want. They literally kicked out David Hogg because he wanted them to use their power to push more progressive and left wing populist candidates instead of neoliberals and the DNC didn’t want that.

The democratic primary voters elected Clinton in 2016. Sanders got his ass kicked in the south and midwest. Trump's claims about rigging were cynical,and opportunistic. The party structures are weaker than ever. Party leaders have preferences and a little shady shit goes on but at the end pf,the day people vote.

I’m not claiming ballot tampering. Of course voters cast votes. That’s not the point. My issue isn’t whether people technically vote. My issue is how candidate viability gets shaped before and during the process through donor networks, media access, institutional endorsements, and consultant infrastructure

Modern party structures may be weaker organizationally, but they’re more integrated into fundraising and elite networks than ever. That doesn’t require centralized control, it just means candidates aligned with capital and institutional continuity start with huge structural advantages

My broader critique isn’t that the DNC secretly overrides voters. It’s that these organizations and structures filter out candidates who seriously threaten capital concentration. Even without coordination, that’s how institutional ecosystems work.

Okay I'm impressed. Yes the whole invisible primary money game thing which narrows down candidates to begin with is definitely a valid issue.
