And please try to do it with the less bias possible, left and right wing are meaningless terms for me, I only believe in 🐔 wings.

    Nobody serious ran against Biden in the primary.

    DeSantis & Haley ran against Trump, both lost by a wide margin. You could argue the turnout was still low, but I think those voters really do want Trump (for some reason).

        Technically they happened and many Democrats wanted Biden to debate, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Democratic_Party_presidential_debates_and_forums

        However he declined. In general we don’t have an open primary when there is an incumbent. It may be a mistake, but that is what generally happens.

        Also SOTU 2024 Biden was fine, so primary Biden 2023/2024 may also have been fine. The concern is if he can do it now and for the next four years. I think it’s possible, but he needs to prove it (or step aside).

          I would be very happy if Biden got elected and then immediately stepped down. He doesn’t even have to telegraph it. I don’t care.

          Not Immediately Killing Every Minority 2024 wooooo
