    “She was the candidate, crowned with zero primary weeks before the election, with zero threat of being replaced.”

    No primary? There was a primary. Biden/Harris won that primary election as Phillips dropped out fairly early. What do you mean by “no primary”

    Had Biden died on the campaign trail Harris would have been instantly the candidate. The situation with him stepping aside isn’t really any different. There was a primary and Biden/Harris won that primary.

      No primary? There was a primary

      And the state who literally has a law that they go first had their delegates stripped for not violating their own state law…

      That’s how the “primary” started.

      I don’t think I need to give any other examples after that.

      The situation with him stepping aside isn’t really any different.

      It’s different because DNC leaders, Bidens campaign team, his current admin, and various media organizations (owned by billionaire conservatives) colluded to hide Biden’s mental decline literally since he assumed office and all the way up to the last possible second

      The neoliberals really did a weekend at Bernie’s and no one with the power to stop it gave a fuck because he had a D by his name.

      That is how Republicans became president.

      Quick edit:

      Seriously, the same people we know lied about Biden and used an elderly mentally unwell person as their puppet were still going to be calling the same shit

      How is that any different than what Reagan was?

      I can almost accept some people don’t want them to face criminal charges, but you think giving them the country again would be better?
