So would I, I've literally only cast one general presidential ballot for someone I wanted, and that was a quick disappointment.

The point is: not enough other people will

It's an obvious enough point even DNC voting members realized it, that's why they pivoted back to the focus being on getting votes and not just raising money and counting on being "the only other option".

Literally anyone with a D by their name is "the only other option" so this time we're gonna try a fair primary to see who voters like best instead of shoving shit down everyone's throats and complaining when they don't thank us.

He never got over his first lost in the 80s.

At first, Biden was regarded as a strong candidate. In September 1987, however, reports emerged that he had plagiarized a speech by the British Leader of the Opposition and Labour Party Leader, Neil Kinnock. Allegations that Biden had engaged in plagiarism during law school and had exaggerated his academic record soon followed, and Biden withdrew from the race later that month.

Biden's campaign also hurt Dukakis, because it was the same neoliberal playbook the Clinton's later used.

He saw being Obama's VP as a slap in the face, so when the oligarchs and Hillary told him he could be an empty suit president, nothing was going to stop him.

I'm honestly still shocked someone got him to drop out of 2024. I think they just legit told him "you can't run, sorry" over and over and his brain is so mush he just eventually went with it. He's a dick, but there needs to be investigations into the last three administrations and all the elder abuse that our presidents have been victim of in the last decade, because otherwise the people who orchestrated get off with it.

We desperately need to get back to actual presidents again

I'm not talking about how Biden/Kamala could have won.

They'd have 100% lost to any none maga opponent. And a cynic would say that's why his handles refused to hold trump accountable. Which makes sense because that's how trump became the president in 2016, they were overconfident because it worked in 2020, so they rolled the dice and lost again.

The silver lining is Kamala losing meant the DNC voting members had (and took) a chance on someone who runs fair primaries and supports whoever gets to the general.

We know it's different because he's been hemorrhaging money from the "victory fund" that literally started all of this back to the state parties the money was stolen from over the past decade.

That's a huge advantage, we've been running every state Dem office at campaign levels for 18 months straight and will continue to do so till the next presidential election.

The money is being used instead of hoarded for the next neoliberal candidate.

I see no evidence of bribes, but you ar3 obviously right about personal agendas. These agendas are why the appointees recommended by Bernie like Lisa Khan were able to inact substantial beneficial changes and Biden was able to take credit for it, but unsurprisingly often did not. Both because mushy brain and never having known that's what his people were doing. His attention was available though, as evidenced by his behavior around Israel and Gaza, it just wasn't a good thing to have when you're trying to achieve positive change.

You are incorrect about barring them all. Many were very good nominees. I agree about Blinken and Garland though, fuck them both.

If Nixon had been properly prosecuted, maybe we could have avoided all this

It is however the president's job to appoint an AG who won't slow roll prosecuting a fascist so he can retake power.

Doesn't seem to be hindering the cunt occupying the big house at the minute.
