Platner could have won and nothing would have changed. USian politics is all kayfabe. They're all on the same side, even if they play it up when the cameras are rolling.

You can't vote your way out of a corrupt system.

It's win win for the dnc, either get their preference in or can go see they can't win like we said!
The question is still is this incompetence on vetting platner or them seeing how bad a candidate can be and win simply by being white and saying Medicare For All
