When a Dem wins the general, they “nominate” a chair to the DNC, and the DNC could technically go against it, but the vote is largely performative.
When a Republican wins, there’s no nomination and they just vote.
Obama didn’t nominate anyone, and the entrenched neoliberals held on like they did in 2016.
That’s why it’s so huge that when the DNC held a vote again, they went for the guy who doesn’t show any bias and locked down a purple state into a state filled with some of our most progressive politicians. They could have went back to the neoliberals like they have for decades, but they didnt.
The DNC learned their lesson, we’re going to get a fair primary, which means the general will be a cakewalk
Also why there’s a huge push from mainstream media against the DNC, they’re already trying to depress turnout in the Dem primary in 3 years, because they’d rather risk a Republican than a progressive.
