In American electoral politics, tell that to the massive grassroots support of Bernie Sanders after his supporters were disenfranchised by the DNC, who argued in court (successfully) that they could “go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way” if they wanted to. That was in a case in which they defended the reality that they showed a clear bias (read: rigged the primaries) against the people’s candidate in favor of the corporate candidate by basically saying, “we can do whatever we want if it really boils down to it”.
The DNC is a rotten corpse that some people insist on continuing to provide mouth-to-mouth to.
In politics in general, sure.
