      why do you think NYC have voted in republicans most of the time, they prefer them, because they keep the status quo,(not taxing billionaires, or affecting thier real estate properties)

          The democrats ran a primary in 2024 which Biden won.

          Biden stepped back and Harris was voted in by the delegates because at that point there wasn’t time for another proper primary.

          Harris would have been a much better president than the guy who ended up winning.

                HOW MANY DID HARRIS WIN? You can say zero, because the answer is fucking zero.

                They should have run another primary. Or left biden in. Or, and this may be shocking, came out against genocide and got more votes.

                  2020’s proper primary took from February 3 to August 11, 2020 or 190 days.

                  Biden dropped out on July 21 2024 and 190 days after that would have been January 27, 2025.

                  How’s the genocide going now? I think Trump gave away Ukraine yesterday and now Israel is getting ready to take over Gaza City.

                The democrats have always had primaries

                2 minutes later…

                Harris was voted in by the delegates

                Well that was a fucking lie.

                  You might as well just kick yourself in the nuts instead of arguing with a partisan ideologue.

                  It’ll hurt less.

                    I’m just a guy who saw the two choices in 2024 and knew Harris was by far the better choice so now I’m reminding non-voters that they caused this mess.

                    You could at least cite your source of a 2024 primary happening. I’ve voted every chance I get for everything big and small since 2016 and I don’t remember getting to vote for Biden or any other option in a Democratic primary in 2024.

            Quit your bullshit. You know damn well there wasn’t a real primary in 2024. Dems had a primary the same way Putin holds elections. And you know this. Tired of this bad faith centrist horseshit.

                Big Dean Philips fan, huh? The 2024 primary was a coronation from the beginning with no serious candidates running against Biden. Several states canceled their Democratic primaries. It was run exactly like an election in a tin-pot dictatorship where the ruler wins with 99% of the vote.

            false, there has been evidence of significant election inteference by the gop/russia, if you actually look back, recent lawsuit suggest counties majorly supported voted for harris went to trump all of the sudden.

            They probably shouldn’t have run Biden if they knew he was gonna drop out before the election then. Everyone knew that Biden’s brain had melted from age. That’s why he said he would only serve one term all the way back in 2020.

                Plenty of other countries have primaries in that short of a time frame. It also wasn’t a secret that Biden wasn’t qualified, and was going to have to drop out waaaaaaay before he did.

                Yes because even if Kamala would’ve won, even with a Democrat majority in congress, Republicans would’ve kept Republican’ing and Democrats have developed a habit of not doing anything to stop it because it wouldn’t be civil or whatever the excuse of the week is.

                  In that case republicans would be able, at most, to block progress. Now you have secret police disappearing people in broad daylight, not to mention the open ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

                    That was happening under Biden too, they just weren’t being as vocal about it. Also Roe v Wade was overturned when Biden was in office with a Democrat majority in Congress and they couldn’t be bothered to do anything about it.

            A “primary” with an incumbent president isn’t a real primary. Anyone who says otherwise is acting in bad faith.
