You are missing the entire point..
You're doing exactly what you accuse the other side of doing while accepting the 1%'s bullshit argument that there is literally no hope of actual change.
Next 4 years, Next 4 years, Next 4 years, almost there guys don't worry about it.
Picking the better of 2 evils is not democracy.
From your(and my) perspective it's the better of two evils, there are plenty of average democrats that chose Biden on the merits.
I've literally never met anyone in real life who actually supports Biden, I'm not saying they don't exist, just that he doesn't exactly get people excited to vote, it's literally just "not Trump"
Yet he got more votes than Bernie. So people definitely like Biden more.
Ignore the fact that the DNC is a private org and can pick anybody regardless of vote counts.
But did they do that?
Yes, they actively promoted vote counts including super delegates from day 1 in 2016. In no way was that primary fair. This included the actual vote manipulation in Navada.
Sources would be appreciated man.

Thanks for the source! I'll check it out.
Lol there is hope for change. 4 and 8 years ago, Bernie could have been a candidate. There wasn't enough people that voted for him in either election, so Hilary and Biden took it. Now, you do need to wait 4 years because Biden is the incumbent, who historically have a good chance at winning. In 4 years, if people want progressive candidate, vote canvas and donate. If not enough people do, then that obviously means not enough people want s progressive candidate.
