    I see so many people screaming that primaries should have been held, especially today.

    Biden would have easily won the primaries.

      He did win the primary in states that had them. There’s no if about it. Unfortunately.

          The problem with Biden is they gave it to him because “he deserved it”. Life long politician. Vice president. That’s the only real reason the DNC handed the keys to him. It’s a fucking job promotion.

          The next election cycle is going to be interesting.

      The only reason I agree with this is that I was still living in the Midwest during the 2016 primary. I moved to California during August of that year. Time after time, I got told by Midwestern democrats that Bernie just wasn’t electable / was too progressive. The coasts would have primaried Biden, but flyover country would have messed it up.

          Iowa, North Dakota, New York, and Massachusetts are the only ones that really surprise me in that grouping.

            NY isn’t that keen on progressive politics outside NYC. Long Island is an extremely populated part of NY and it’s basically Trumpland and “moderates” out here, more Trump the more east you go. “Greater” NY is also pretty red aside from the larger cities. It doesn’t really surprise me that much unfortunately :(
