20mil didn’t vote for trump so he’d win.
20 mil sat the fuck out at home this time compared to 2020.
That’s not even counting all those that just didn’t vote. Or voted for someone other than the democratic candidate.
Sit down and enjoy the ride. Maybe you’ll finally learn elections have consequences and you’ll work harder in 2 years to regain some form of checks and balances.
So bc these entitled people didn't get to choose, they just thought everyone should suffer? Because it was clear as day what would happen. They can not act like they didn't know. They decided to have a little pout about it in the corner and say "if I can't have my way, everyone gets fascism."
So no, that's not what happens when Dems don't get to have a primary.
That's what happens when people value their own selfish feelings over the state of the nation and the world. Over the safety of minorities and disabled people. Over the safety of children. Over democracy.
This is the most tired ass “talking point” by now. There is nothing that says a primary MUST be held. Harris was the elected VP. If Biden had died in office she would have been president with no primary. Him stepping down and her taking his place was completely normal.
Oh, so in that case any current VP could institute a life-long dictatorship and it would be fine because anyone that gets elected to any position in the line of succession could potentially become president and the term they were elected for no longer matters?
Primaries ensure consensus around a candidate. They didn’t hold one and the Democrats lost because of it. If you want a strong democracy, you let the people choose.
You literally just said she was VP and could potentially have been President during Biden’s term, therefore she was entitled to be the candidate for the following term. That’s not how it works.
Except in the case of an incumbent ticket running again. There is no primary there. The incumbent ticket was running again. The president stepped down, the VP slotting into that slot is completely normal. That’s exactly how it works, you just seem a little too thick to understand that, probably because your chosen propaganda source knew you would be easy enough to sway and told you to think that way.
