The issue isn't their nobility. Bombing women and children to support a religious genocide isn't noble. It is that they pick bad candidates. In a West Wing fantasy the President wouldn't be 81 years old. Democrats in 4 months will be asking how this happened, just like in 2016. Then they'll pick another bad corporate puppet and blame anyone that doesn't unify behind them.
If we want better candidates there is only one way to get that: convince more Americans to support better candidates so that they win more primaries.
And actually having primaries and not using the Democratic establishment to attack candidates that challenge the corporate puppets.
We did have primaries. Remember "write-in uncommitted"? Those were primaries. That could've been "write-in someone else".
