You're actually proving the point. The people who ran against him demanded funding and equal access to Party resources, but they were denied. The incumbent party will always tilt the field toward the incumbent president.
Except you literally said "nobody made a fuss." Several people did.
Because not everyone agrees it's "normal and fair and strategically sound."
Just because "this is the way things are done" is an awful argument. Slavery was legal once, too, and people argued "this is the way things are done" for that, too.
It's a weak argument to say "well this is normal." So was segregation until it wasn't? Lots of morally dubious things have been argued with the "well this is normal and how we've always done it" bullshit.
If you can come up with a better argument to support it than "this is how we do it and it just is and you need to accept it" then I will listen.
