    Running a candidate who nobody voted for in a primary probably contributed to it as well.

      WELL I FUCKING VOTED FOR HER. She was right there on the ticket, under Biden. I have enough of a brain to realize if Biden couldn’t run anymore she would naturally be the candidate.

        What’s natural about that? If the incumbent can’t run again what would be natural is another primary.

          No the VICE President would be the next person in line for the job. Who else better prepared to be the president than the person who spent 4 years studying the position in case they had to step in to do the job?

            You’re saying this better serves the Democratic voters than running a legitimate primary election?

              Well in an ideal world he would have stepped down in 2022 and let her be President for 2 years. She would have been reelected then

                  Absolutely I think he fucked up. But I also think she would have been a fantastic president and lettuce to a much better place than where we are now

                    Great. Sounds like the Democratic primaries produced a fuck up. How do we stop that in the future?

      yeah. Not being a member of political party is terrifying to many people. Joining the republicans is an impossibility to many people, so they hold their nose and join the Dems, who couldnt give two shites what the voters want. As we saw in that election.
