  • Gosh, I ignorantly thought the primary was where the delegates get chosen (based on a candidate they agree to choose at the convention), not the process of delegates selecting the candidate. I honestly had no idea that there was a published definition that would set me straight. Can you point me in that direction?

    Still, I don’t see the relevance since a primary that doesn’t give citizens the opportunity to express support for a candidate can’t tell us anything about support for that candidate. How we define “primary” really doesn’t come into it.






  • I believe it was you who was talking about primaries, of which I pointed out that Harris never won any - even the one I “don’t like”. She participated in exactly one primary and had her ass handed to her.

    Your argument was that Bernie obviously can’t win a general because he couldn’t win a primary. Do you, or do you not, apply that same logic to Harris, and did you oppose her nomination in 2024? Your argument is ridiculous in either case, but you could at least apply it consistently.



  • Bernie couldn’t even a primary but there’s a whole delusional section of the population who think he had a chance to be president.

    You mean like Harris? Bernie, and everyone else, blew her out of the water in 2020. Maybe the Democratic establishment should have been taking your advice.

    The well has also been poisoned against fascism, Russia, “coastal elites”, and rapists/pedophiles. Trump still won. Maybe you’ve lost the plot somewhere.


  • There is no indication that Trump thought he could “wipe the floor” with Bernie. In fact, it was likely the opposite. The polling certainly didn’t agree, for whatever that’s worth. Even if he did think that, there is no indication that he would have been right. It’s funny how Trump is an evil genius when the Democrats want him to be that, and a raging moron when they want that.

    Once Bernie was put up against Trump rhetorically, Bernie’s lead would have grown substantially. Bernie talks to a huge segment of America that most Democrats talk past. Most Democrats don’t even get heard because they have nothing worthwhile to say.
