    It’s called “controlled opposition”. When you want something bad but don’t want to look like you really support the bad thing you just do a really shitty job “trying” to stop it and then when you inevitably fail you get to reap all the benefits while still claiming you fought against it.

      It’s called a conspiracy theory when there is no evidence to support your claims.

        There is plenty of evidence; you’re just ignorant of it. If you can’t see it now you’re probably too indoctrinated to ever see it.

        What’s it called when you ignore evidence that’s right in front of you and keep trying the same things over again only to keep losing?

          That’s called a Happy Time Harry

          Democrats won 5 of the last 9 elections

            So not having a primary last year was just an honest mistake you think? Maybe Biden should have stayed on and the mistake was him stepping aside? I’m sure he would have won if only he had a chance.

            Must be nice to live in a world where politicians are honest and have the best interests of the people in mind instead of corporations.

              There were a lot of black and female voters that would’ve been disenfranchised and not voted if someone other than Harris was chosen to replace the president, it was her job. After all, it’s the vice presidents job to replace the president.

              Maybe Biden should have stayed on and the mistake was him stepping aside? I’m sure he would have won if only he had a chance.

              We will never know if Biden would’ve won if he stayed in. Many feel his chances were over after the debate with Trump. But Trump won after Harris made him look stupid at their debate.

              Nice strawman

                I would love nothing more then to be proven wrong in future elections.

                A lot of things are conspiracies until years later we get proof of them, I expect if/when we find out the full picture of where the money went the 2020 election will be a prime example of how Democrats value donor money much more then they value winning elections or having policies that win elections.

                So here is hoping that in 4 years you can come back and say “I told you so” when Democrats actually present a winning platform in 28.
