In reply to the discussion: Help me understand why choosing the nominee who lost the delegate and popular vote is "democracy" [View all]LiberalFighter
(50,928 posts)It is the campaign's job to get their candidate's name out in the public. Not the MSM.
The Party does not control how primaries are conducted. State laws control that.
The nomination process is not intended for outsiders to decide the nominee for the Democratic Party. Otherwise, why have a Democratic Party? If people persist in this then it will revert back to the old days where there were no primaries or caucuses. And you won't get a say in the matter. State parties don't have to participate in primaries if they don't want to. They could use their state conventions to decide that.
GE polls are misleading as they are not based on how the election is decided for President. Electoral votes determine the outcome. And it is based on the results of individual states.
