Oh no! Oh ouchie wowchie the man who won the primary and presidency got to be an incumbent, in light of this aggression we better let millions of people suffer to prove our point. /s
In 2020 Joe Biden recieved 19,080,502 votes, second place was Bernie Sanders with 9,680,424 votes.
The “primary and presidency got to be an incumbent,” were listed in chronological order.
And I’m talking about 2024… WHAT PRIMARY? are you liberals capable of any self reflection? Are you really this obtuse? You really can’t figure it out? The democrats lost in a landslide - they lost the electoral college and the popular vote, they lost the senate and the house, and they lost a bunch of state government positions as well. The liberals owned themselves when they allowed biden to seek a second term. That was the day they lost the election, and the only chance they had at winning was by holding a real primary and even when biden was arguably forced off the ticket by a palace coup instead of holding a primary they - in the back rooms of course - coronated Kamala Harris despite not winning a single vote for the position.
And unrelated to my initial point but since you bring it up, 2016 was fucking electoral fraud from the DNC.
Oh yeah after the DNC threw their weight around to get everybody to drop out of the race and endorse Biden, that was definitely a real and fully representative primary.
Even after dropping out in april and endorsing Biden, Bernie still got more than half of Biden’s 19 million votes, comparatively, and even won several states. If the Democrats wanted to win more than anything else, that was their guy, and they willingly threw that advantage away. That should tell you something!!
