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.

    Seriously? People making the choice to have Trump because she had Cheney supporting her, that is some funny math…people need to stop demanding a perfect candidate and start thinkinh about who do you want to be your opponent for the next four years.

      I doubt anybody based their support on whether dick fucking Cheney was voting for Harris or not.

      The fact that the democrats courted this war criminal instead of courting their base just goes to show how little they care about losing an election.

      There are people who still believe Trump is anti-war for some reason or don’t play attention to the stuff he does once in office. It isn’t asking for perfection to not be cool with one of the most unpopular people in politics and the worst War Criminal when your tagline is “Joy.” Morals and Standards go a long way.
