Seriously, at what point in the election process do Democrats believe people get to have THEIR say & make THEIR choice?
According to the messaging I've been hearing here for the last month or 2: primaries are for making sure the safest bet—the most "electable" person—gets the party nomination. And the general election is for beating "the other side."
So where is the choice? When are we allowed to choose? They keep telling us that we never do.
