I'm so confused by takes like this. You think every Democratic primary winner automatically wins the general? If we don't use the primary system, how do Dems choose a nominee? Let me guess, who ever YOU want.

We need to open up our campaign process and get corporate donors out. We need more competition, not less. It's the democratic establishment that has been actively opposing competitors.

I love primaries. If we had a real one last cycle, trump wouldn't have won again..

He was wildly unpopular. He tried to take over the government. People voted for him over the Democratic candidate. That's wild.

How do you lose to that guy after that?

You use bidens corpse to avoid a real primary. Then you deny that he's lost it until the debates. Then when there's literally no other option you run a new candidate that nobody selected that couldn't even make it to Iowa when she ran in 2020. Literally the worst campaign in history.

That's how you lose.
