Primaries during incumbent sessions are never serious for any party, so 2012 doesn’t really count.
They had a very long primary process in 2016, but Hillary won. Yes, the establishment wanted her, but she also won more primaries than Bernie by the time the convention came around, so the super delegates deciding not to overturn the will of the primary voters is hard to argue against, even though I preferred Bernie.
2020 had a primary season, and Biden won.
2024, they had an incumbent, and Biden didn’t drop out until like 2 weeks before the convention.
And there were down-ballot races in the primaries endo one of those years and more. Did you vote in all of them, or are you just bitching because the people who do get off their ass and participate don’t do what you want?
They’ve been trying by bitching about the party every couple years when the primaries they don’t participate in select the wrong candidates.
the dems haven’t had a primary since 2008

you made an excuse for 2012, covered up the systemic corruption in 2016 and 2020, and made another excuse for 2024.
