The reason they didn’t do an open primary was because it was June and Biden is a prideful man who has been trying to become President for decades and wasn’t going to go without everyone and their neighbor pressuring him and convincing him that he had no shot at winning as an actual candidate. There was no time for a primary, and the DNC’s directive has always been about maintaining this air of unity and stability, especially since the chaos of the first Trump administration.

A hung convention would have been a way more interesting show, but they are still convinced America doesn’t actually want an exciting show, but a boring one. Yes, even now.
