You mean like in 2020 primaries?
Yes, exactly. They didn't remove Bernie from the options and declare Biden the nominee, they coordinated a drop out/endorsement from all the candidates who would take votes from Biden and then pushed him as the "responsible" option though the remainder of the primaries.
Basically, they got people to actually vote for him in the primaries via behind the scenes ratfucking. They didn't just say "surprise!" at the convention.
