The democrats haven’t held a legitimate primary since 2008!
In 2008 it was a genuine competition between Obama, Hillary, and a handful of other lesser known politicians. Obama won the general in a landslide.
In 2012 Obama ran unopposed. Obama won the general.
In 2016 the democrats rigged the primary against sanders for Hillary, and to absolutely no one’s surprise who was paying attention, Hillary lost the general. Why? she didn’t genuinely win the primary. Shocking!
In 2020, refusing to learn mistakes from 2016, the democrats once again screwed over bernie and didn’t run a legitimate primary - rigged it so that all the candidates except no-path-to-win Warren exited the race to split the progressive vote away from bernie. Joe biden won by the skin of his teeth, and he would of lost if it weren’t for the country reacting to trumps handling of covid.
In 2024, once again refusing to learn the democrats didn’t even bother with a primary, ran an old demented geezer as a presidential candidate, realized that wasn’t going to work, and then anointed unelected Kamala Harris who didn’t even need to compete in a primary.
And they’re shocked they lost?! These people make way too much money to be this stupid.
Lol, biden against who? RFK Jr; the fake candidate that was a trumper the whole time? Who the democrats tried to block? Or who else, some no name nobody running a vanity campaign? There wasn’t a legitimate primary like there was in 2008 full of qualified competitive candidates. And so they lost.
Getting on the candidate ballot is something the candidates do themselves with signatures. Its not on the party. The democratic leadership did not pick the candidates that ran in 2008.
Most disingenuous comment ever. Like the dnc didn’t actively discourage everyone from running against biden and they tried to block RFK Jr on the ballots (dudes a nut job but that’s irrelevant)
Well one this is completely sincere on my point and two a lot of that was the possible candidates themselves. Its rare to attempt to run against a sitting president. Who ran against clinton his second term or obama his or any other second term seated president?
Bill clinton had high approval ratings. Obama had high approval ratings.
Biden had abysmal approval ratings.
approval ratings have nothing to do with gathering signatures or people voting. For myself I will repeat something you will often see in my comments which is that the biden administration is the best one I have experienced considering the situation he was in. Im still flabbergasted by what he managed to accomplish with very little support outside of his administration.
