    Biden won in a primary where the dnc refused to fund any other candidates and was only participated in by people that admitted they didn’t want the position.

    There was no second primary.

      Let us also not forget the manner in which the media claimed that Biden had “run away with it” after super Tuesday, the day in which southern states, which will never turn blue, get to decide the winner of the Democratic primary.

      And that prior to Super Tuesday, Biden had basically floundered in every state other than SC.

      And that on the Sunday/ weekend before Super Tuesday, we saw the mass dropping out of basically all candidates aside from Bernie, Warren, and Biden.

      And that Warren stayed in the race instead of basically already having had lost, which prevented the consolidation of the progressive bloc.

      We’ve lost the time and space for the kinds of fantasy that people like SMCF would have us engage in.
