The 2016 Democratic presidential primary was rigged. It was useful not because it offered any real opportunity to elect a good candidate, but because trying to do so and watching what happened woke people up to establishment corruption. The same will be true of the 2020 primary.
This is not to say Americans shouldn't try to nominate a true progressive candidate; it's to say that they should. Try very, very hard to nominate your favorite candidate. Try your very hardest. And then, watch what happens. Watch what they do to you. And never, ever forget.
If you don't push against the will of the establishment manipulators, you'll never force them to expose themselves. Let them install Biden/Warren/Buttigeig without opposition and they won't be forced to sabotage democracy. Force them to provide proof of their own corruption.
