    And I can’t say that I blame them. Biden’s presidency… or his campaign… or Harris’ campaign…

    It was a shit-show all the way through. Maybe next time the Democrats should try catering to their voter base.

      “I know fascism is bad, but I understand allowing it - I mean, look how uninspired the other option was!”

      Yeah, this is exactly why we’re in this position.

      14 Million primary voters picked Biden in 2024.

      He won the primary, as has every incumbent for many many decades.

      We failed them, not the other way around.

        A rigged primary, where the voters weren’t really given a choice. Voters were very vocal that they didn’t want him to run again, and the leadership openly ignored them. Next time, maybe the leadership should listen to the base that they claim they represent.

        What primary? The democrats did everything they could to shut down primaries. From refusing to run other candidates to outright cancelling votes.
