Democratic strategists are still patting themselves on the back for a catastrophic defeat.

Anyway, the point is that the voters didn’t decide on Biden so much as Biden was decided for them.

Dude every primary has worked the same since the early 1950's. The early states always have much more influence than the later states.

Should all states vote at the same time? Yes probably so. But it likely made no difference. You still had the chance to vote for whoever you like, regardless of when your primary was.

Who the hell would be dumb enough not to vote for Bernie just because earlier voters chose Biden?
