      Biden won in a primary where the dnc refused to fund any other candidates and was only participated in by people that admitted they didn’t want the position.

      There was no second primary.

        Let us also not forget the manner in which the media claimed that Biden had “run away with it” after super Tuesday, the day in which southern states, which will never turn blue, get to decide the winner of the Democratic primary.

        And that prior to Super Tuesday, Biden had basically floundered in every state other than SC.

        And that on the Sunday/ weekend before Super Tuesday, we saw the mass dropping out of basically all candidates aside from Bernie, Warren, and Biden.

        And that Warren stayed in the race instead of basically already having had lost, which prevented the consolidation of the progressive bloc.

        We’ve lost the time and space for the kinds of fantasy that people like SMCF would have us engage in.

      I refuse to acknowledge a primary that I’ll bet 90% of the country didn’t know happened. They checked the box, but it was an irrelevant exercise.

          I believe it was you who was talking about primaries, of which I pointed out that Harris never won any - even the one I “don’t like”. She participated in exactly one primary and had her ass handed to her.

          Your argument was that Bernie obviously can’t win a general because he couldn’t win a primary. Do you, or do you not, apply that same logic to Harris, and did you oppose her nomination in 2024? Your argument is ridiculous in either case, but you could at least apply it consistently.

              Now that was definitely not a primary, not even a checking the box primary. That was a coronation, and the very event I asked if you opposed.

              Anyways, it’s absolutely clear to anyone seeing this that you’re just a hack and not a serious person. I knew from the onset that was the best to be achieved.
