The democrats haven’t held a legitimate primary since 2008!

In 2008 it was a genuine competition between Obama, Hillary, and a handful of other lesser known politicians. Obama won the general in a landslide.

In 2012 Obama ran unopposed. Obama won the general.

In 2016 the democrats rigged the primary against sanders for Hillary, and to absolutely no one’s surprise who was paying attention, Hillary lost the general. Why? she didn’t genuinely win the primary. Shocking!

In 2020, refusing to learn mistakes from 2016, the democrats once again screwed over bernie and didn’t run a legitimate primary - rigged it so that all the candidates except no-path-to-win Warren exited the race to split the progressive vote away from bernie. Joe biden won by the skin of his teeth, and he would of lost if it weren’t for the country reacting to trumps handling of covid.

In 2024, once again refusing to learn the democrats didn’t even bother with a primary, ran an old demented geezer as a presidential candidate, realized that wasn’t going to work, and then anointed unelected Kamala Harris who didn’t even need to compete in a primary.

And they’re shocked they lost?! These people make way too much money to be this stupid.

    Clinton destroy sanders. The worst thing anyone can point to is that the dnc said mean things about Sanders in an email, and Clinton got some debate questions early (some she was likely preparing for anyway). It wasn’t rigged by any stretch of the imagination.

    It really throws into question an ability to reason it objectively view the facts if one is still touting the propaganda that it was rigged against Sanders. It’s the same stupid that 2020 was rigged against trump.

      LMFAO continue to bury your head in the sand and lose elections. How many coin tosses went in Hillary’s favor during the caucuses? That one example is statistically impossible and it’s just one of many.

        Clinton crushed Sanders by 12 percentage points. Telling me “lose elections” because I don’t fall for your conspiratorial nonsense makes no sense. And lying about coin tosses doesn’t make your position any more reality based.

        Face it, reality matters to you as much as it does to a trump supporter.

          They committed electoral fraud. The primaries were rigged in multiple states and multiple ways. They lose the trust of the voters, and their antics made me a life long anti democrat. And I hate the republicans too. I’m politically homeless and have been for a long time now.

            They committed electoral fraud.

            Zero evidence of this. Just like with Trump cultists’ claims.

            a life long anti democrat.

            This was the point of the propaganda: to get you to think the Democrats are bad so you wouldn’t vote. And you fell for it hook, line, and sinker. And despite 8 years of no evidence ever surfacing to support your claim of “fraud” you still believe it happened.

            You probably look down your nose at trump cultists, but you’re not at all different from them.

              I’m at work and on my phone so I don’t have the time to prove the 2016 shenanigans. 2020 was a coordinated effort to have all the candidates drop out just before Super Tuesday except no path to winning Warren, to split the progressive vote. It’s rigged. You’re naive.

                Nah, it’s because you can’t. Because what you’re claiming doesn’t exist. I know it, because I’ve been down this road hundreds of times in the past 8 years and your parroting the same grievances that I’ve heard all of those times, and no one has been able to provide anything. Just like trump supporters in 2020.

                2020 was a coordinated effort to have all the candidates drop out just before Super Tuesday except no path to winning Warren, to split the progressive vote.

                Biden got more votes than Sanders and Warren combined. Yet somehow this means it was rigged against Sanders. Lol
