The entire fucking point of the primary process is to pick the candidate more people said they’d vote for in the general.
Ignoring the results of that process is what got us Hillary. Who the DNC also assumed would get the most votes. Just like you’re making assumptions now without any supporting reasons other than opinion and hope.
The primary is for engaged people to decide which candidate they want, not to pick the candidate that is best for the general necessarily. That’s always one of the talking points candidates need to appeal to, but it isn’t the only factor, or even always a major factor. For example, Trump was selected for the Republicans in 2016, and he almost certainly wasn’t the “best” candidate.

TBF, she did actually get the most votes. She was still a disaster candidate.
