      I bet you said the same thing about Bloomberg. Regardless of his low chances of primary success, he would still be infinitely better than Trump.

        Nope. Biden was the predetermined nominee in 2020. Bloomberg was a means to that end.

        And you support any candidate over a progressive. Including and especially trump.

          Biden won the 2020 Primary, about doubling Sanders’ votes. Are you implying Bernie Sanders is also just pretending to be progressive and intentionally throwing?

            Bloomberg’s literal stated reason for joining the race was to stop Sanders. Stop with the self-serving revisionist shit already.

              Bloomberg clearly failed miserably because Sanders was second place and Biden doubled Sanders votes. Bloomberg was a net zero on the outcome. Nobody and I do mean absolutely nobody who would have voted for Sanders instead voted for Bloomberg.

              Point being you can’t buy your way in, voters decide the DNC candidate.

                voters decide the DNC candidate.

                Imagine believing that after 2024. Imagine thinking anyone else is stupid enough to believe it.

                  Imagine believing an Incumbent would lose a primary for the first time in USA history and then using their victory as evidence of fraud.

                  14,465,519 voted for Biden in the DNC primary in 2024, 87% of all participants. Bernie Sanders chose not to run and the next place runner up was Dean Phillips with 529,664 which as I’m sure you’ll agree most people have never even fucking heard of in their life.

                    The party sued as many people off the ballot as possible. Biden was the only one on the ballot in all 50 states. Congratulations on the only sort of primary you or any centrist wants: one with a preselected pro-genocide appointee.
