With President Joe Biden out of the race, Democrats have started questioning the mental fitness of Trump, who would be the oldest president in history if he wins in November.
If the DNC had allowed a primary, this would have been the news cycle for the last 3 months. The instinct to micromanage everything and allow no real democracy because voters can't be trusted A) led to them ordaining Biden, the worst monster to occupy the White House since Andrew "Sharpknife" Jackson. And B) led to questions about his mental acuity eclipsing Trump's overt decline, leading to a second Trump term, the very thing the DNC said we needed to short circuit democracy to avoid. Mission Accomplished, DNC! Heckuvajob, demmy!
I remember telling my friends that if they didn't want it to be biden vote in the primary. They didn't see the point. There were a lot of people who pretended the primary didn't exist during it though. Poor Dean what's his face. No one remembers he existed. I only remember half his name
You may have been born within the last 4 years, but the DNC basically cancelled the primary when it looked like Bernie was winning and Obama forced all non-Biden neolib shills out of the race because we must defeat Trump and Bernie CANNOT defeat Trump (despite what polling showed,as the DNC's primary liability is losing it's pre-Trump working class base) and then they cancelled the primary in 2024 BECAUSE they knew Biden wasn't even 2020-level senile
Well here's the funny thing with neolibs, when I say she should choose a different policy, she can't because she's not president even though she's the candidate... Also, a political party is one brand, you can't pretend it's not, and Biden has created a brand association of DNC==horrifying image of war crime he egged on
I volunteered for Clinton in '92 for universal healthcare and gay rights and got the end of the social safety net and don't ask don't tell probably before you were born, you have bought into the Kang v Kodos system and don't even realize (or get that reference because you were 8 in 1996)
