      More the Democrats that make-up the DNC who control the voting menu.

      Take the case of Howard Dean. Destroyed electorally by the media in 2004, managed to become chair of the DNC, implements the 50 state strategy and Obama wins big.

      Dean was the last Democrat marginally willing to adopt a winning strategy and he was destroyed for it. Democratic Speakers of the House, Party Majority Leader, Whips, Chiefs of Staff all vocally and vociferously against him.

      He only won them Virginia which has been Blue(ish) since. He had the party do outreach in North Carolina and flipped it for Obama. His strategy even won INDIANA.

      He is replaced with Tim Kaine.

        On this site it’s kinda hard to tell. A lot of people think that voting should just be checking the box beside the name of someone that agrees with them 100% and then everything instantly becomes they want it to be the day after the election.

      No. I’m saying they don’t even run the full primary. They drop out and back the party’s favored candidate. It happened with Clinton and Biden. Voters aren’t being given an actual choice unless you live in one of two states.
