    Hate to defend them, but that’s not really an accurate portrayal of what happened in 2024.

    Biden should have announced he wasn’t running and allowed the primary process to play out. If he hadn’t, then the DNC should have overridden him. It’s unbelievable that they didn’t anticipate or care that Trump would win again.

      It was a pretty convenient way for them to hand pick a nominee. Given how the last two played out I don’t think that’s an unfair lens to view the situation through.

        They really wanted Biden to win it and immediately step down for his illness that they all knew he had so that Kamala could take over without having to run herself. They knew she wouldn’t win a primary, but it was her turn after all.

        Biden’s disaster debate ruined that plan and Kamala’s mishandled campaign doomed them.
