Nobody has ever successfully primaried an incumbent. People like you get made that 2024 primary was normal.
Even if you think Biden somehow stole endorsements, the popular vote difference was double. Biden had double the votes that Bernie had.
What we desperately need is to remove every Republican
I don't think Biden stole anything. I think corporate Dem donors and leadership are legitimately afraid of a popular socialist movement.
If you're arguing that Kamala was the best option, guess what: she lost. If you think running the incumbent would have been better, that's just more evidence that the party doesn't listen, or doesn't care. Perhaps you want to blame the voters? Good luck. ๐คฃ
I don't disagree with your fundamental point; but mindlessly rallying around a political party that doesn't listen to its base is not only stupid, it has become dangerous.
Being afraid to lose is possibly the most pathetic excuse I can imagine to not try anything new.
The DNC aligns with the wants of the american people, the people are just being misled so as to not see it.
That is just a flat out lie.
Jeez. How sad. I'm done with you. Good luck.
