Yep.

"The Democratic party endorses the Democratic party member for the Democratic party nominee instead of the guy that's not even part of our organization"

Democratic party members: votes for Hillary.

Idiots everywhere: "omg rigged"

Cuomo still got tons endorsements despite running as an independent against a Democrat, so it's not as simple as just party loyalism. There's a core of the Democratic party which hates socialism and socialists, and would rather lose than let socialism win. That's not rigging, though. That's just the party leadership (and donors) steering the party.

I fully expect a DSA candidate in 2028, so we'll see how the party reacts.
