Ok yeah, but that doesn't mean we need to choose Alfred to do the actual fighting against the Joker. Instead, it's perfectly OK to say "Hey Alfred, let Batman handle the Joker, you watch and provide advice if you're needed."
If you aren’t happy with the candidates: PAY ATTENTION DURING THE PRIMARIES. You can’t complain now which restaurant to eat at only when the food arrives at the table. You’re coming in way the fuck Too late now for this argument.
People were saying the same shit about Biden during the primaries, they were saying the same shit during the primaries of the last election. It doesn't matter. the Dem leadership rig it to run whoever they want to run.
Didn't Bernie run in the last primary?
For some reason, people are convinced that Bernie would have won if it wasn't for the DNC putting a gun to the head of millions of Democratic voters and making them vote for Joe Biden instead.
I'm a Bernie voter. Biden was like, third to last pick for me, not exactly rooting for him. If people my age spent as much time and effort actually fucking voting like the suburban fucking soccer moms that shored up Biden's support during the primary, we COULD have had Bernie.
2020 yes, 2024 no. Biden had small time candidates against him in the primaries (Dean Phillips, Marianne Williamson, RFK).
The consensus in the DNC was for no major candidates to challenge him as it may shake his standing. It's tradition to not primary against an incumbent.
"President Carter won't debate me!!!!" - Guess who
Ah yes, I had it in my head that they didn't primary at all, as opposed to it being traditionally non-competitive. Thanks for the correction
