    Sure they should have had a primary. Biden should also never have run. But neither of those things happened and neither was Sanders’ fault

      A primary would have been a disaster. We would have for sure ended up with a candidate notably worse than Harris. Don’t forget the people who pushed Biden wanted Shapiro or fucking Newsom or someone. It wasn’t gonna be Bernie Sanders, that’s for fucking sure. I am suddenly seeing a lot of people calling for an open primary and i can’t imagine what the fuck those people would have thought would happen, there.

      We were kinda stuck with Harris. The problem lies with her and with her backers, who failed to provide an attractive alternative to Trump.
