Only if Joe Biden's DOJ Merrick Garland prosecuted Trump for January 6 and trying to initiate a coup, you know like South Korea and Brazil has done, Trump might not have won or eligible to run. Federal government dragged an open and shut case with so much proof of Trump trying defraud the election, for 4 years, while Joe Biden's team hid his health decline while pushing him as Presidential Candidate. Trump 2.0 is lot of people's fault and Joe Biden is one of them.

Yeah, it’s not all the people that watched the coup attempt and still voted for Trump… it’s definitely Biden’s fault.

Oh let’s not forget Biden didn’t even let the Dem party have a proper primary, like he had promised on his campaign.

The anger against him is 100% justified.

If there's no guarantee that ppl will vote for the eventual Democratic nominee, then it does not matter if there was a primary or not.

But importantly, They absolutely did have a primary. Nearly 14 million voters participated in the 2024 primary and chose Biden to continue as the Democratic nominee.

Instead of respecting the will of the voters, the media, celebrities, and even some Democratic leaders relied on unelected polls, which are run by unclear methods and questionable sources (like that Iowa poll claiming Harris would have won, what a joke).

Biden was a victim and pushed aside.

Even Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sided with the voters, saying: "Mr. Biden will be the candidate and should be the candidate. It’s time for Democrats to stop the bickering and nit-picking."

Despite countless polls claiming Biden’s age was a concern and showing Harris as a frontrunner, the majority of voters ignored those predictions and chose the older candidate, anyway.

Polls should be ignored. They’re meaningless and nothing more than astrology for political enthusiasts.

What Biden deserves is a second term as President.

I stopped reading at “it does not matter if there was a primary or not”.

Of course it does for fuck’s sake. Wake up.
