What the hell does competitive have to do with anything? As for divisive, the rock bottom turnout among Sanders demographics say that's BS.
So your argument is that all publicity is good publicity, that getting paid attention to is the only thing that matters.

How much of that media attention was on The GOP as a whole, and how much was just on Trump getting $3 billion in free advertising? How would that have helped them if literally anyone else got the nomination?

Sander's demoghrics...meaning, young people? Youth turnout was roughly on par with 2012.

I have no desire to go back and forth on this. I was pointing out that the 2016 Dem primary was abnormal for having so few candidates. I merely wish for the Dem primaries to feature a more traditional field of 8-9 candidates in 2020. The candidates thrashed each other in 2008 (far more so than Clinton and Sanders thrashed each other in 2016, in my view) and it clearly didn't prevent Obama from winning. There's no need to fear the candidates roughing each other up a bit.

Was there any other actual reason to support Gabbard besides her having nice things to say about Sanders? Please tell me goons weren't that gullible..

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
The D-list Democrats will be the only ones showing an interest in 2020, so I wouldn't rule out a Mark Cuban, or even Bloomberg nomination. They have name recognition and can self-fund, which will already carry them 99% of the way to the nomination. They will lose hopelessly in a general election, but the nomination is wide open for a gimmick candidate.

i don't think the situation is quite that dire. the democratic party largely lacks superstars with a lot of prominence right now, but 3 years is a long time in politics. a lot of stars emerged in the struggle against george w. bush, and a lot of stars will emerge in the struggle against donald trump.
