First point is entirely valid in my opinion and many of my more progressive friends are upset about this. I don't really like it either, but it's also ridiculous to think that if a candidate dies, drops out due to health issues, etc. late in the process, that their side just concedes the election. Time is getting short, so I don't think it's unreasonable to think that some method other than a full primary might be necessary. And replacing that candidate with their sitting VP seems even more reasonable.I think what is being pointed out is the hypocrisy of the party screaming about saving "our democracy" nonstop for eight years is selecting their candidate the same way the Chinese Communist Party does. I would be willing to bet RFK would have won the primary over the current VP.
Second point...
