Impact of the 2020 primaries on the Democratic Party's image

[All Along The Watchtower]

So many candidates, so many of them absolute garbage, the fiasco in Iowa, the Sanders-Warren spat, Bloomberg's campaign, so much money from donors big and small wasted on such a grotesque and debasing months-long (years-long, in fact) spectacle.

Abolish presidential primaries and caucuses imo. It's not like they've done anything good for the Republican Party's image either in recent times (2012, 2016). They've made a mockery of democratic participation and have had an incalculably toxic effect on our political culture.

Having primaries is better than the alternative. Literally every other option is a TON less democratic and worse than what we have now.

Perhaps there should be a ton less democracy in candidate selection.
