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.

    Anyone who didn’t vote for Harris is either evil or too stupid to be let outside.

    How in the fuck do you look at the GOP and say “That’s what I want”?

          Thanks for playing the game, both sides are genociders and neither are acceptable choices.

                You say that like a perfect representation of the Dunning-Kueger effect like this is some grand gotcha question.

                Here’s a big fucking difference, Harris fully supports a independent Palestinian state, Trump does not, he supports a Palestinians limited in power, puts Israel in charge of security and give the West Bank to Israel.

                Trump also strongly supports the Israeli government and has mentioned many times for Israel to ‘finish the war’ and when he met with Netanyahu, he said

                “I did encourage him to get this over with, have victory, get your victory and get it over with. It has to stop. The killing has to stop.”

                Don’t forget that Trump also acknowledged Jerusalem as the Israeli capital and acknowledge golan heights as bringing to Israel.

                Yeah, they’re soooo the same. Just prep yourself for more arms going to Israel for as Trump likes to put it, ‘finish the job’.

                  Harris doesn’t support shit except whatever the military industrial complex wants. She speaks out of both sides of her mouth and lacks any original thoughts of her own at all on any issue let alone Israel.

                  Both candidates want to turn Palestine into glass and then oceanfront vacation homes for rich Zionist NYC metro area assholes who aren’t content with just stealing homes.

          By being out to brunch for the last four years liberal, you refused to hold democrats accountable and blindly followed Harris like the stupid sheep you are despite the fact it was obvious from the start biden / Harris had no chance of winning.

          Go back to brunch blue MAGA liberal moron.

            I don’t even live in the US, you clown.

            But now the rest of the world has to suffer because you were too busy patting yourself on the back to do the right thing.
