  • Some people find it convenient and comforting to dismiss things that don't fit with their world view in that way.

    I happen to believe that the primaries in 2016 and 2020 were skewed by the DNC to avoid a Sanders victory. But let's say for argument's sake that they weren't. Why then did they decide not to hold a primary this year when they had two challenging candidates demanding one?

    Don't say it was because they had a sitting president, because the immediate precedent was 1980 when they did have a primary.
