    You have to have voters and candidates engaged in that process. Biden by all accounts won the primary by a landslide.

      That is a pretty generous use of the word ‘won’.

        RFK JR and Marianne Williamson ran against him and it was basically no contest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries

          I didn’t realize that RFK Jr. and Williamson were the best alternatives that Dems had to offer. That they were given equal funding and air time. That they got a fair chance to square off against the president directly over ideas. Carry on then.

          That’s specifically why he’s saying “won”… there was no competition.

          What if I told you… it was designed this way.

            I’m going to point out my initial statement, candidates and voters have to engage in the primary process if it is to be effective in ousting an incumbent.

            Then why did he win through write-ins where he wasn’t even on the ballot?
