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.

    “Good candidate” is your opinion. She did not compete in a primary, she was given the nomination, and shockingly /s she lost. Turns out she was not a good candidate!

      I don’t know why you are getting down voted. She lost , so she was a bad candidate.

      She might have been a good candidate, but she was never chosen in the primaries, so why would the voters choose her.

        Because the blue MAGA crowd are completely fucking delusional and can’t cope with the fact that they lost because they’re incompetent and corrupt.

        I completely expect a repeat of this behavior in 2028. And a repeat of blame the left and third party voters… despite the fact that trump won with enough votes that all the third party votes combined going solely to swing states wouldn’t of changed the outcome.

        They want somebody other than themselves to blame.
