You don’t see the difference between your imaginary DNC scenario and North Korea’s elections which have been decried as sham elections?

Oh, so it does matter whether or not elections are legitimate? So then why do you automatically dismiss all questions of legitimacy regarding the Democratic primaries?

(Well, fewer as you’re too dumb to vote in primaries but still…)

Again, did not say that one shouldn't vote in primaries, only that the primaries are not a sufficient answer to how to enact left-wing polices.

Like I said, this isn't worth my time.

Reread what's been written, it has the answers.

Maybe it'll make sense when you grow up?

And I've answered all your points.

I'm in my 30's and the older I get the further left I go, so don't hold your breath on that.

Like I keep saying - time doesn't ipso facto make you wise. Wisdom is something you earn with hard work and dedication to intellectual honesty. It does not simply come with time and you are yet another great example of this.

Pretending like elections in North Korea and the USA are comparable is either very ignorant or wholly disingenuous.

I never pretended that. My point is that if you categorically dismiss questions of legitimacy in an election, then it leads to absurd conclusions.
