Legacy media won't write about this, so I figure I'd take the Internet beating & say what needs to be said—the Democratic primary system is broken and unsustainable, and it's hurting our democracy.

@QasimRashid you say the primary process is broken, I say that voters holding candidates responsible for breaking promises they never made is what is broken.
The Democratic primary process is an irrelevant factor in turnout. To the degree that it matters at all, the important thing is the narrative that our mainstream newspapers go with.
In 2016, Clinton fought like hell to get the nomination. And the press put their thumb on the scale against her, first for Bernie, then for Trump.
@QasimRashid By your lights that tightly contested democratic primary should have driven turnout to the moon.
But the narrative (which you perpetuate) was that Bernie was somehow cheated. That Clinton's 3.7M vote lead in the primary was invalidated because Clinton knew there would be a question about abortion in one of the debates?
It's nonsense, but it worked. As you say, they only needed to convince enough of the people who voted for Bernie to sit on their hands.
@QasimRashid Your post says that Biden broke his promise to only serve one term.
That's simply a lie. Biden *never* made such a promise.
Funny thing, facts.
@QasimRashid Your blog links to a Politico article that is explicitly about how Biden did *not* make that promise.
Biden never promised to be a one term president.
@tob It's clear you're not a serious person https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/11/biden-single-term-082129
You can go now. Thanks.
@QasimRashid look at the date on the article I linked. It's the same day, 8 hours later. It has several *attributed* quotes from Biden and his to advisors saying that the Politico article you linked to is bogus.
It. Is. A. Lie.
Here's an actual quote from Biden on the day that Poltico piece was published, "I don’t have any plans on one term."
Go ahead and block me.
