Gavin is applying for predetermined frontrunner.
I bet you said the same thing about Bloomberg. Regardless of his low chances of primary success, he would still be infinitely better than Trump.
Nope. Biden was the predetermined nominee in 2020. Bloomberg was a means to that end.
And you support any candidate over a progressive. Including and especially trump.
Biden won the 2020 Primary, about doubling Sanders' votes. Are you implying Bernie Sanders is also just pretending to be progressive and intentionally throwing?
Bloomberg's literal stated reason for joining the race was to stop Sanders. Stop with the self-serving revisionist shit already.
Imagine believing that after 2024. Imagine thinking anyone else is stupid enough to believe it.
The party sued as many people off the ballot as possible. Biden was the only one on the ballot in all 50 states. Congratulations on the only sort of primary you or any centrist wants: one with a preselected pro-genocide appointee.
So why
did
they
feel the need
to sue?
