    I didn’t want Biden either.

    I don’t know if y’all remember this, but the DNC decided to forgo a primary and forced Harris on us. When she ran in 2020 during the primary, she was so unpopular that she dropped out before any votes were cast.

    Why did anyone ever think she would win? It’s almost identical to when the DNC put Hilary up against Trump.

    You can only fool me with this “lesser evil” bullshit so many times.

      And if they will spend the last minutes they had on primaries, first of all you wouldn’t participate in them anyway because you think they all rigged or whatever, and then you would not vote anyway because whoever won on primaries didn’t have enough time to campaign and you just feel like you don’t know enough about them to make a decision.
      The levels of bullshit you have to come up with to avoid admitting you just collectively wanted Trump to win is astonishing really.

        You’re doing a whole lot of assuming there. I absolutely vote in the primaries.

        Accusing me of wanting Trump in office is just dead wrong.

        This is why the DNC fails. Y’all instantly attack anyone that doesn’t “fall in line” and immediately alienate them.

        It’s honestly a bit pathetic that you can’t even hear any criticism of the party.

          Hey, good for you, you voted. Most people didn’t.
          They wanted Trump to win, or didn’t care who does. They are at fault. They had the ability to change the course of election and chose this way. Even trump supporters are less at fault, they’re in a cult, their brain fell off, they don’t have a choice.
          Democratic party cares about opinions of people who vote for them, it’s that simple.

        Any criticism of The Party immediately means they want Trump, “no it’s the voters who are wrong”

        I vote in all the primaries - and it’s a sobering assessment that pulling “Uncommitted” in 2024 was my most enthusiastic electoral participation since 2008. I still voted for Dem harm reduction for the general - in a swing state thankyouverymuch - but look at where we are. 100% unified neo-fash/nativist government with Trump at the helm.

        Why is the Democratic National Committee so afraid of either listening to, or allowing the electorate to participate?
