Biden only won in 2020 because of how badly Trump fumbled covid

Oh 100%. And a dusty old boot could have beat him. Trump is and has always been an infinitely beatable candidate. Its just a matter of not running objectively weaker candidates like Hillary or Biden.

Biden won 2020 for two reasons: The DNC ratfucked Bernie in the primary (their words, not mine); and when it came time, Bernie was the bigger man and asked his constituents to support Biden in exchange for control of the platform (and the deal worked!).

Biden won the nomination because he kicked butt in the South so bad everybody else dropped out.

He always was kind of a weak candidate, but he won, and more importantly he made his win stick during the whole run up to the coup and after. He wasn’t in the news much then, but that took a cool head.

This is such a delusional statement I don’t even know where to start.

Biden didn’t start winning until the DNC ratfucked the process.

Those are Adam Smith’s, eg, the self admitted chief ratfuckers words, not mine.

Bernie was running away with it till the collective drop out on the Sunday before Super Tuesday. Why in the fuck else do you think Pete Buttigieg, a one time mayor of a microscopic college town is secretary of anything?
