          It’s called “controlled opposition”. When you want something bad but don’t want to look like you really support the bad thing you just do a really shitty job “trying” to stop it and then when you inevitably fail you get to reap all the benefits while still claiming you fought against it.

              There is plenty of evidence; you’re just ignorant of it. If you can’t see it now you’re probably too indoctrinated to ever see it.

              What’s it called when you ignore evidence that’s right in front of you and keep trying the same things over again only to keep losing?

                  So not having a primary last year was just an honest mistake you think? Maybe Biden should have stayed on and the mistake was him stepping aside? I’m sure he would have won if only he had a chance.

                  Must be nice to live in a world where politicians are honest and have the best interests of the people in mind instead of corporations.

                    There were a lot of black and female voters that would’ve been disenfranchised and not voted if someone other than Harris was chosen to replace the president, it was her job. After all, it’s the vice presidents job to replace the president.

                    Maybe Biden should have stayed on and the mistake was him stepping aside? I’m sure he would have won if only he had a chance.

                    We will never know if Biden would’ve won if he stayed in. Many feel his chances were over after the debate with Trump. But Trump won after Harris made him look stupid at their debate.

                    Must be nice to live in a world where politicians are honest and have the best interests of the people in mind instead of corporations.

                    Nice strawman
