The real test is the DNC chair election on 2/2/25.

It'll honestly determine who wins 2028 more than who the candidates are I believe.

If Ben Wikler gets it, I think he'll listen to voters and let a fair primary happen. If we get that, we'll win the general regardless. But the party immediately picking a favorite and mixing money together before the first primary vote is cast just turns off Dem voters.

We at least need the illusion that there's a fair process

I don't think an illusion would work, because it's less about the idea of a fair process and more about how much the fina candidate makes people want to vote for them. That's why a fair primary is necessary.
