What could go wrong is millions of childish idiots would decide to walk across broken glass barefoot because they don't like the choices of shoes available. And then blame it on whoever brought the shoes.

I don’t disagree with you fully, both things are to be blamed here. An average person should do a proper research before voting, but a party should also give people what they want instead of forcing specific candidates. To be blunt, good amount of voters are idiots and ignorant, so it’s party’s responsibility to figure out what they want and then base their campaign on that. Thats where primaries can play a huge part.

The Democratic Party did try to campaign based on what they thought the public wanted and what the country needed, and more than 74 million people showed up and voted for her. The 10 million or so Democrats who voted in 2020 but didn't in 2024, who could have changed the outcome but didn't, can't blame the party for their own fuckheadedness.

I showed up and voted. The problem was y'all who didn't. You also literally don't understand what the word "literally" means.
