Given 2028 some thought

19. let me guess, you don't believe that the DNC assisted either Hillary or Biden?

I see this same form of argument form my Realtor when they say they act in my best interests on the price of a house...

Let me put it to you this way, if the DNC were neutral, as you suggest, they would determine matters like debate criteria, superdelegates, and the primary calendar once, and leave it that way. Because if none of those things mattered, they'd have no motivation to change them, so they'd just set them once and be done and move on to fighting Republicans.

But they don't. They change it every election in ways that just happen to align with certain candidates. And everyone who calls them out is gaslit and not "credible". And of course none of this can ever be "proven" because a person's motivation is only known to them, but of course certain candidates clearly benefit from these changes and others--who perhaps assumed the rules wouldn't change--don't.

And this next election, when the DNC almost inevitably changes the rules to benefit some established candidate they're clearly fond of, and to the detriment of some outsider candidate that young voters & independents clearly prefer, we'll each apply the same reasoning and come to the same conclusions.
