          Ok but you still can’t act like Biden winning the primary meant that he was actually the best person for the job. Being more popular than a couple of nobodies is hardly an accomplishment.

      Oh yeah it was a real primary with real candidates. I mean the second place guy “Uncommitted” nearly had it in the bag…

          People claim the democratic primary was rigged. This was done by the party “discouraging” people from challenging the incumbent. You then show proof of the primary that literally had no other options to a tin pot dictator level.

          Lack of candidates is very much a fault.

            People have been discouraged from challenging incumbents in every primary ever conceived, because splitting the party’s vote is always a bad idea in first past the post.

              See this is why the US had a broken system. You have a two party system where its only “pick the lesser evil” and when called out on that joke of a choice americans tell me that the choices are available within the political party systems. And here we are moving the goal posts again. No people have not been discouraged from challenging incumbents in every primary ever conceived.
