Vice President Kamala Harris quickly racked up endorsements after
President Joe Biden exited the 2024 race, but some made the case for an

People love this talking point, as if Hillary didn’t also win the popular and electoral votes in that primary. She still would’ve had the nomination of there were no super delegates.
I wanted 8 years of Bernie too, but let’s chill with the conspiracy theories.
In that primary the charts from day one included superdelegates for Hillary and the DNC absolutely put their thumb on the scale in a major way. That primary was an absolutely awful mistake and turned a lot of voters off of the democratic ticket.
Were it not for the bullshit Hillary pulled we likely never would have had Trump as a president - the margin of his election was thin enough that not trampling over the progressive side of the party would have kept him out of office.

There, see. There’s the fault in your argument. The Democratic party can’t seem to stop trampling over progressives
