      Who are the ones voting in primaries, donating, and volunteering?

      Bernie Sanders was in the 2016 and 2020 primaries and lost by an absolutely huge margin both times. The organization isn’t the problem. How the people are voting is. Even if you “fix” the DNC it won’t fix the problem.

        They didn’t even bother to run primaries for this last election even though they had to know that Biden wasn’t going to run. They gambled on wasting the RNC’s efforts running an anti-Biden campaign when they were going to swap Harris in and lost.

        They also turned out the lights on anti-war Sanders supporters, so forgive me if I don’t think the DNC plays fair. The US is going to collapse and I can’t say we don’t deserve it.

          That’s basically how incumbent presidents have worked for 248 years. That’s not news. Biden obtained 14,465,519 out of 16,610,102 votes in the 2024 primary election, 87.09% and obtained 3,894 delegates while the runner up received 35.

          He had every right to pass his chance on to his VP and I thank him for it, it was a valiant effort and took a lot of courage I’m sure.
