I love how people act like the end result of a highly manipulated primary somehow means the manipulation didn’t happen.
This is 2024, we’ve now had three primaries in a row where the Democratic Party employed different tactics to push their favored milquetoast neoliberal to the seat. They cleared the field, smeared the opposition, and refused debates to push Hillary. They flooded the field, continued their smearing, and then collectively backed out to prop up boring old Biden in exchange for cabinet or VP positions, and then this last time around they functionally skipped the primary entirely.
Twice that has resulted in Trump winning. 33% is a failing grade.
