😂😂😂 “The DNC doesn’t pick the candidates.” 🤣🤣🤣
Does anyone else remember the primary we didn’t have for the 2024 election? Or how about how dirty they did our boy Bernie in 2016? Or how about the fact that you can’t even run as a Democrat unless you bring them at least $1m in fundraising?
You mean the primary where less than 30% of voters even participated in, with most just being lazy and sitting at home?

"Record" lol. This is not a fuctional democracy if people just refuses to participate. Like literally every primary has horrible turnout. People this lazy don't deserve a democracy.
We had a primary in 2024. He was pressured into stepping down after winning. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Hillary Clinton’s collusion was reprehensible, and also extremely rare.
I’m also referring to the congressional and state primaries that only see 15% attendance, yet you, like most Americans, think we only vote once every four years.
With the party suing as many opponents off as many state ballots as they could. There was only one candidate that made it to the ballot in all 50 states. Like party leadership wanted.
And dear god did centrists lose their absolute shit at people who voted uncommitted in their pretend primaries.
