A refreshing conspiracy theory about the primary

https://www.mintpressnews.com/coronavirus-primaries-were-elections-heres-why/265824

Apparently all of the elections that we've been watching are illegitimate and came about because evildoers at the DNC were determined to force a vote and coordinate Joe Biden.

The terrifying evil of the DNC is exposed! At least, in the minds of delusional psychotic nutjobs.

8. This line of thinking has been pushed by anti Joe Biden and Pro Bernie Sanders people.

As has been mentioned here, the article mentioned by the OP can also be found on Shadowproof.com. The article was written by Kevin Gosztola. What is his political bent? Let's check his twitter feed:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Joe Biden was "most electable" after Super Tuesday because media establishment manufactured this narrative for voters. <br><br>Joe Biden is now inevitable nominee after "Super Tuesday 2" because media establishment manufactured this narrative. <br><br>Corporate elites want this to be "over."</p>— Kevin Gosztola (@kgosztola) <a href="


?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 11, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

How about the tweets of people who follow Mr. Gosztola? Let's see what is next in his feed:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We have to get the word out about how Biden lies (I'll be making a video on it) And him losing his mind with the autoworker. And how Bernie actually is electable in the general election.</p>— Representative Press (@RepPress) <a href="

Wow, all anti-Biden stuff from people who seem to like Bernie Sanders. Apparently some Bernie Sanders supporters seemed to have no problem with the Mini Super Tuesday election 7 days before the Arizona, Illinois, and Florida election on March 17, but they had a big problem with the March 17 Primary only 7 days later. So, what made them suddenly start acting like having further primaries was essentially an act of genocide against Americans, especially older Americans?

Well, it turns out from what I have been reading online that some of Sanders supporters want to delay any further primaries a lot in the hopes that some magical surge of support will come out for Bernie Sanders. Where will this magical surge come from? I have no idea. Perhaps they think that Bernie Sanders fighting against the Coronavirus will rally people around him, so they just need time for Bernie to work his magic. So, expect a whole lot of "having primaries now equals death" from some anti-Biden and pro Bernie Sanders supporters.
