But yes I actually agree with your general theory---to me the issue is how much of a secret backroom deal it was.

The problem isn't the intention of the elitism, it's the elitism itself, the arrogance to decide for the people.

Yeah. Though I'd say that that arrogance is baked into both the Constitution and the concept of primaries in general. The people aren't ever actually in charge in America

1) YOU GOT 280???? 2) Yes, but we punish elected officials for leaning into the elitism and away from the democratic parts, as we should.

And going in to the arrogance of choosing for the people, I guess that's where my motivation question is. How much of the choice was HRC saying "I'm going to be the nominee anyway", and how much of it was "Obama left us $20mm in debt, and DWS is fucking up, I can fix this"

Well I mean, when people are like The Clintons Are the Boogieman I do think that's genuinely part of it.

I think they both have a fairly transactional mindset. You can't JUST do a nice thing in politics, like bail out the DNC...

You gotta get yours out of it. Which is an excellent way to survive in politics, but not a great way to engender love from the public.

Also, of course I gotta take my silver lining out of this as a Hillary-stan: Donna Brazile went looking for corruption, and found this (admittedly big) one thing, and nothing else.
