President Biden’s reelection campaign raised more than $1 million through online fundraising alone in the 24 hours after the president’s Jan. 6 anniversary speech, according to numbers exclusively provided to The Hill.

Biden on Friday gave a full throated attack against former President Trump, his likely GOP opponent, and warned Americans that Trump’s reelection would pose a threat to American democracy. The president zeroed in on Jan. 6 to mark the third anniversary of the U.S. Capitol riots and argued in his remarks that democracy is on the ballot in 2024.

In response to the 24-hour fundraising haul, the Biden campaign noted that they see preserving democracy as a political winner for the president in 2024.

Are…

Are you really saying a primary is why Clinton lost?

Does that mean you’re arguing we shouldnt have any primaries at all?

I don’t understand how your comment is relevant if that’s not what you’re saying

Oh, absolutely Clinton lost because of the bad taste left from her primary, 100%. She handled the entire Bernie situation very, very poorly and paid the price for it.

No, this does not mean we should get rid of primaries, that is an extremely stupid idea.

But…

Bernie supporters still overwhelming voted for her in the general.

The primary wasn’t why Clinton lost, she lost because she was a terrible candidate and no one on her campaign knew what the electoral college was.

And obviously, her team helping trump in the primary was a bigger reason she lost to trump in the general, although she’d have likely lost to anyone else too. The whole reason they helped trump was they thought he was the only candidate Hillary could win against.

I just don’t see any logic or basis in facts in your opinions man.

Got a source for that? I remember a lot of “maybe the DNC needs to learn a lesson.”

Which, they were right, and we did. But it came at enormous cost.
