    The democrats ran a primary in 2024 which Biden won.

    Biden stepped back and Harris was voted in by the delegates because at that point there wasn’t time for another proper primary.

    Harris would have been a much better president than the guy who ended up winning.

    HOW MANY DID HARRIS WIN? You can say zero, because the answer is fucking zero.

    They should have run another primary. Or left biden in. Or, and this may be shocking, came out against genocide and got more votes.

    It's going exactly how we told the Democratic leadershp it would go, if they kept running bad candidates and bad policies.

    The democrats have always had primaries

    2 minutes later...

    Harris was voted in by the delegates

    Well that was a fucking lie.

    You might as well just kick yourself in the nuts instead of arguing with a partisan ideologue.

    It'll hurt less.

    You could at least cite your source of a 2024 primary happening. I've voted every chance I get for everything big and small since 2016 and I don't remember getting to vote for Biden or any other option in a Democratic primary in 2024.

    Ah I see. The lack of any form of election was cause everyone basically dropped out before my state got a say. So the only options were Biden or Uncommitted (which did get a significant amount of votes).

    What? No I read the Wikipedia page you linked which states when each state had their primary and also states when everyone dropped out of the race. I saw in the article that my state, Missouri, had the primary after every other choice had left which lead me to realize why it felt like there was no primary. There basically wasn't one by the time I could have had a say in anything.

    My brother in Christ leftists weren't even in this primary. Ffs one of the options was a damn antivaxer. Are you really gonna say the DNC would be accepting of actual leftists when they seem more fine having an antivaxer represent them? Actual leftists were running third party like the PSL party with Claudia de la Cruz or getting thrown out of every public Dem appearance for demanding them to speak against Israel and stand up for Palestinians. At the very least allow for someone from Palestine to speak on stage at a conference in front of the public, but that was asking too much.

    Yeah and a lot of leftists aren't going to hold their nose and vote for any form of light conservatism just because it's "the lesser of two evils". They're either going to vote third party or not vote at all. So the DNC can either shut down and stop getting in everyone's way or start trying to appeal to leftists instead of the mythical "moderate conservative".

    You all always blame leftists as if Dems can do no wrong and are allowed to do whatever they want? Newsom attacks homeless people, talks shit about trans people, and platforms fascists on his podcast? That's fine cause he's not running as a conservative and said some mean things about Trump on Twitter. Anyone who expects more from them is just purity testing and will never be satisfied.

    do you live in new hampshire? the DNC decided they werent going to honor any primary votes in new hampshire because the new hampshire democratic party wouldnt move their voting date to what the dnc demanded-- which was to run South Carolina first, since Biden did well there.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/new-hampshire-attorney-general-accuses-dnc-voter-suppression-rcna132945

    It worked out in the end, under threat of lawsuit for illegal interference with the voting process by the DNC.

    They probably shouldn't have run Biden if they knew he was gonna drop out before the election then. Everyone knew that Biden's brain had melted from age. That's why he said he would only serve one term all the way back in 2020.

    Quit your bullshit. You know damn well there wasn't a real primary in 2024. Dems had a primary the same way Putin holds elections. And you know this. Tired of this bad faith centrist horseshit.

    Big Dean Philips fan, huh? The 2024 primary was a coronation from the beginning with no serious candidates running against Biden. Several states canceled their Democratic primaries. It was run exactly like an election in a tin-pot dictatorship where the ruler wins with 99% of the vote.

    Plenty of other countries have primaries in that short of a time frame. It also wasn't a secret that Biden wasn't qualified, and was going to have to drop out waaaaaaay before he did.

    If Biden's team thought he had any chance of winning whatsoever, he wouldn't have dropped out. His dropping out is incontrovertible proof he couldn't have won.

    yes, and if he had won he would have finally had a chance to "defeat medicare", right.

    And he was going into an election with lower poll ratings than any president in 80 years. he had no chance of winning.

    In that case republicans would be able, at most, to block progress. Now you have secret police disappearing people in broad daylight, not to mention the open ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

    A "primary" with an incumbent president isn't a real primary. Anyone who says otherwise is acting in bad faith.
