    Even ignoring all the structural issues like donors and media that prevent a truly open process the fact that Biden was the incumbent meant there was even more pressure from the DNC to not have a legitimate competitor run.

    Saying she won the most delegates so she was everyone first choice is being basically blind to how the primary process actually operates.

    If wealthy donors weren’t as important to the process, if she wasn’t the incumbent VP after a very unusual occupancy of the incumbent president stepping down this late, and you had something like ranked choice you would get a very different answer. This should be obvious to anyone because in the last “fair” primary in 2020 she and Biden were among the least popular candidates before the other centrists dropped out all together.

    Progressives and leftists have tons of literature out there on the policies and ideas they want implemented to improve society, just because you haven’t bother to look up any doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

    As to how that gets implemented again it’s out there but going to depend on what country and topic we’re taking about if you want someone to provide something specific.

    More than happy to provide some but given the post was on “leftist discourse” I’m a little unclear on what specific topic you’re unable to find the leftist position for here.
