      Really? They didn’t drop out because of lackluster polling? Can you point to them rapidly rising in national approval ratings?

        No candidate would ever win a primary against an incumbent president. Which is why the right decision would’ve been for Biden not to run.

        Name one real option the democrats has promoted.

        The fact is that the democratic Party went all in on Biden early one and has refused to promote anyone else

        Yes there’s been a few candidates, but they are all largely unknown and no effort has been made to seriously bring them up.

          It’s news to me that “democrats” (???) have to promote a candidate as opposed to a candidate running and captivating the primaries electorate… You know… As Barack Obama did in 2007.

          Yes there’s been a few candidates, but they are all largely unknown and no effort has been made to seriously bring them up.

          Well I’m sorry but beggars can’t be choosers.

          You could’ve run; why didn’t you?

          But this beside the point, considering the goalpost has moved a mile from “The DNC didn’t allow anyone else to run.” lol. People here need a lesson in basic civics, clearly.

                It’s also concise enough to explain why a rebuttal is not warranted. People complaining about a broken system don’t need to be told they just don’t understand.

                  Cool? If you’re already convinced otherwise and you’re not convincing me, why are you here?

                  Did you think this through?

                  Rhetorical question.

          Monkey paw curls a finger

          DNC: We’re please to announce Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic Presidential Nominee!
