Yet enough of the population supports them, that with the help of he media, and the right wing and corporate interests that interfere to help them get the nominations because they can be beaten/don't pose a threat to their interests, that they can force them through again as the nomination, maybe not her but Newsome for the lose this time, to run as status quo, because they aren't the other guy, nevermind the rigging in plain sight.
Seriously without organization it's hopeless and we all are already lost, because these controlled opposition figures will continue to waste all of our efforts and frustrate any attempt to prevent the existential threats the right is pushing from coming to fruition.
Their sheep are not that many, but with the media, the influence operations, the right that manipulates us online in their favor, it seems to many other factions of the democratic electorate that they are the safe choice, that they are the inevitable choice. And throws the election, and as we saw with biden, winning changes nothing.
