You’re too hung up on the terminology. My point is that they need to put someone up now and begin pushing them, by the time we get to the primary that person should be such a forgone conclusion that the primary is barely necessary. This probably means the DNC would pick someone and it’ll probably be a shit choice for leftists, but the alternative is that we get to the election and they are tripping over their own feet like the last couple primaries.
I’m not fond of Newsome either, but I would much rather have him than Vance or somehow Trump. The last thing I want is for the Democrats to fumble the next election because they weren’t organized and tried to decide who to support 7 months before the general election.
The DNC and their backers choosing the candidates are the main reason why the dems have struggled so much in the past two presidential elections because we ended up with candidates that were not very well liked(lessor of two evil situation) having the candidate chosen sooner and with less of a choice by the people will make this even worse because dnc will choose an even more out of touch person then they normally do. Having 7 months to introduce someone to a candidate is totally enough time just look at other countries and our own history of having fantastic candidates easily able to win because they were likeable
