If Dems ran a candidate voters want

Joe Biden won the democratic primaries in 2020. He may not be what most voters wanted, but he was the least objectionable candidate for many people. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar and Tulsi Gabbard all ran, and most didn't win a single state.

Who is this mysterious candidate that "voters want" who chose not to run?

The 2020 primaries should have been a wake-up call to a lot of people that what they thought voters wanted wasn't actually true. There are a lot of socially conservative democratic voters out there.

Only 4 fucking states had their primaries before most of those names were told to drop by the party and Biden only won 1 of them!
