Let's be honest. Hillary and Biden are two of the worst candidates possible. It leads me to wonder if the D party has a hard time predicting public sentiment. It's as if they're trying REALLY hard to lose. Honestly, I don't get it. Can someone shed some light here?
Biden is who they put forth as a "moderate" because all their other candidates were too far left to win.
Biden did poor in initial primary voting. He finished as low as 4th place early. Then for some strange reason almost everyone dropped out just before super Tuesday. Many of those that dropped out endorsed Joe. Liz Warren hung around and that hurt Bernie Sanders. You have to wonder what was said to Pete and Amy to quite before ST.
Both parties are equally as flawed. As an independent I see our democratic system in trouble & Trump as an aberration of conservatism.
Dems should not believe it can't happen to their party as well.
More than half of the adult population in the US disagree with you. Trump only wins because of the weird way the electoral college works.
All the democrats needed to do was nominate a candidate like Bill Clinton, or Barack Obama - a guy who could win in more places than the left coast and northeast - and you would be fine.
Instead they nominate Hillary, under the slogan "It's her turn!".
And now then nominate a guy who should be retiring - I don't want to be mean here but his mental decline has been on display for all to see.
My point it, it's not the electoral college (the "rules of the game") that's your problem. It's your lousy candidates.

Sanders consolidated the progressive vote; him winning the nomination because numerous centrists with similar platforms split support wouldn't have yielded a candidate that reflected the values of the majority of democrats voting in the primaries. Pete was a long shot and Amy was wildly uninspiring. Bernie also had worst shot at beating Trump. Not much of a mystery here.

The problem is that the party is so divided. There is no agreement to what direction the party is going to take on anything. They had 4 years to sort it out, and arrive empty handed yet again.
