      I remember telling my friends that if they didn’t want it to be biden vote in the primary. They didn’t see the point. There were a lot of people who pretended the primary didn’t exist during it though. Poor Dean what’s his face. No one remembers he existed. I only remember half his name

        He founded Talenti. And he could have brought the deliciousness and transparency of his ice cream to America… But seriously, he only ran because he is independently wealthy and was sick of being in congress. An AOC (not to lionize that class traitor) who in theory needs their paycheck in congress would NEVER have stepped out of line because the DNC doesn’t really allow primaries. Haven’t my whole life (now they at least in theory don’t blacklist companies that work with primary challengers, although I don’t trust a party that would have that policy to begin with to enact that reform).

      You may have been born within the last 4 years, but the DNC basically cancelled the primary when it looked like Bernie was winning and Obama forced all non-Biden neolib shills out of the race because we must defeat Trump and Bernie CANNOT defeat Trump (despite what polling showed,as the DNC’s primary liability is losing it’s pre-Trump working class base) and then they cancelled the primary in 2024 BECAUSE they knew Biden wasn’t even 2020-level senile
