I agree with everything you say. At the same time, if more of the people bitching about the ultimate candidate actually voted in the primaries they may have made a difference. I get it. Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, everybody knows that the good guys lost.
I want to push back on this. "The people bitching" were probably out knocking doors for their candidate with me. It's just one more insult that moderates use. We don't have the massive get out the vote machine that the establishment does, but my guess is that the most vocal people are pretty active.
"May" is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting here.
The DNC is a private entity able to pick it's candidate however it deems fit. The primaries are like a basketball game where the refs are wearing the other team's uniforms.
