A rigged primary, where the voters weren’t really given a choice. Voters were very vocal that they didn’t want him to run again, and the leadership openly ignored them. Next time, maybe the leadership should listen to the base that they claim they represent.
I still think there’s a good chance he could have won it the second time because there are enough sexist and racist democrats who stayed home who could have made a difference.
If he was winning primaries with 90% then clearly voters weren’t vocal about that at all. The vocals ones we saw in media didn’t properly represent the voters.
But when statistics showed Kamala Harris had a better chance at victory, he did drop out and gave his ticket, that he won fairly in a Primary Election, to her, his vice president.
Voters were saying it very loudly, the Democratic leadership just ignored them. Polls were very clear that nobody wanted either of them to run, and they both had a low approval ratings. The ticket wasn’t his to give, it was up to the voters. The Democrats chose to skip the voters, so the voters abandoned them.
I don’t see why anyone would expect voters to stick with a party that treats it’s base so disrespectfully.
The disconnect is obvious to me, but to spell it out: They were terrible candidates that the majority of General Election voters didn’t want. Those voters made that quite clear before the primaries, and were ignored. Then the Primary Election voters got behind the bad choice anyway.
But General Election voters had already abandoned the Democrats, and rightfully so. The Primary Vote was only among those that were willing to vote for whatever terrible candidates the DNC pushed on them.

Polls? I’ve got the ultimate form of poll for you. A primary election, which he won.
And how did that work out? Did people come out to vote for the Dems?
Maybe if they had listened to the polls, the Dems would have had a candidate that people were willing to vote for in the main election
They listened to their voters. It was a primary election. Not sure what the disconnect is here unless its your fantasy disconnected with reality.

I’m a consequential, so by saying this you’re just admitting to being a conservative cuck and a Trump supporter as a consequence of your actions.
I’m not sure what a “consequential” is, but I’m not a Trump supporter, nor am I a conservative. I proudly voted against him.
