and the progressive replacement candidate that you're all campaigning for is definitely real and an obvious choice. that's why you're all campaigning for us to vote for them instead in our totally not cancelled primaries precisely because there has been no such challenger in time and definitely not just relitigating old mistakes and common criticisms of the incumbent candidate.
oh wait.
Right, and we've immediately circled back to 'there is no time where it is appropriate to criticize the presumed candidate.'
I'm sure the DNC saying they wouldn't hold primary debates a week before Biden announced he planned to seek re-election didn't have anything to do with no one running against him. I'm sure all the one-term president talk we got to make us step in line back in 2020 didn't set up any expectation we might have a voice in who we ran in 2024. I'm sure you wouldn't be trotting out the exact same garbage even if someone serious was running against him.
Oh wait.
