Unlike in Trump’s first term, Democratic voters say 2-to-1 they want party leaders to fight rather than compromise, even at the risk of not getting things done, per the NBC News poll.
My point is the Democratic party chooses to run it this way. You can’t defend them by saying that’s the way it is, it’s the way it is because they want it that way. They choose it. They can change it whenever they want.
So saying there wasn’t enough time is factually incorrect. There was enough time. Easily. They just chose not to do it. This is the position the Democrats wanted.
Democrats do not make election laws. Those are an amalgamation of historic Federal and State policy. There are different requirements and deadlines per state to get on ballots. This isn’t about a single party. They did not have time to run a primary. That is a massive undertaking, printing the ballots alone requires significant forethought. If the laws were different maybe they would have had time but that’s totally irrelevant. We’re not playing Calvinball we’re talking about what could have happened.
