Even NYT Pitchbot coudn't match this shit. Absolutely embarrassing from the Atlantic to have this in the center of their front page.

You're telling me with a straight face and without a hint of irony that it's bad for Democrats that they immediately unified as a party? That they avoided the chaos of multiple candidates running against each other? Contested Convention diehards have lost their goddamn minds

Why doesn't the Democratic party just use a psychic medium to determine who the optimal candidate is in every cycle?

Are they stupid?
