The DNC is the only reason you're not currently enjoying a second-term Sanders and a sane Supreme Court.

Sanders polled better in swing states. States like Michigan and Winsconsin would have been a significantly closer battleground had they chosen the more charismatic person over the system choice.

The DNC picked the choice their core base wanted most, but not the choice the swing states would have voted more likely for. It isn't a game of who you want to win at times, its a game of who would have had a better chance.
