Why are you booing? Oh yeah, right. Because it's a shallow and superficial take - but still, the boy has a point.

The Dems have been neglecting democratic process within their own ranks, in effect alienating their constituency - and it has been going on long before Palestine hit the mainstream. The last time the Dems held a primary was in 2008.

All of this has culminated in a disenfranchised voter base that just doesn't give af about the dems - and it's well deserved.

Why the fuck do people upvote this misinformation? They held primaries literally this year, which is information everyone can trivially look up

They held a "primary" where the party apparatus has already agreed to fall in line behind the sitting president and push through with no debates, where the only candidate on every ballot was Biden?

The primary where a mass movement still spontaneously grew to explicitly tell the democratic party that they weren't committed to Biden which got 700,000 votes (almost 5%)?

Even ignoring the absolute undemocratic nature of the DNC primary as it existed....The primary in which Joe biden, not Kamala Harris won. While the only primary Kamala Harris ran in (2020), she was the first candidate to drop out thanks to total lack of support...

Yeah... Everyone can look these things up. No need to defend absolute failures of the party, it would be one thing if it worked, it didn't.
