Will Democrats Allow Their Socialist Voters a Clean Presidential Primary in 2028?

Watch the Democrats stiff their own voters, who dearly long for a radical socialist as their presidential candidate.

Democrat voters would understandably like to be involved in selecting their presidential nominee, and some found themselves frustrated that they didn’t get a chance to do it in 2024. 

For example, actor Jerry O’Connell visited Bill Maher’s show recently to reveal that his family got angry and physical with him when he suggested the unthinkable in Democrat orthodoxy about the 2024 presidential campaign. 

“There was no planning,” he told his family, continuing to say that “this [defeat] is what they get.  There should have been a primary.”

He naively claims that the lack of a primary to allow Democrat voter influence reflects a lack of planning.  As I and some others pointed out several times in 2024, the likeliest conclusion is that the circumvention of a primary was the central pillar of Democrats’ plan in that year.

It was obvious by the beginning of 2024 that Joe Biden was not going to be able to complete the campaign for the presidency.  Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during his tenure as president was unlike anything anyone has ever seen in American history.  His frailty and senility were very public, very obvious, and very embarrassing for the United States. 

But they didn’t replace Biden in January or February of 2024, which would have allowed for a primary for voters to weigh in on who might replace him.  Instead, they suspiciously timed a June presidential debate (the earliest presidential debate in American history, by the way) in which Biden thoroughly embarrassed himself and gave Democrat elites the ammunition to call for his swift replacement. 

Too late for a primary, but just enough time for Obama and Pelosi and Schumer and the rest to orchestrate the anointing of his successor.  In other words, contrary to the lamentations of left-wing bubble-dwellers like Jerry O’Connell, Democrats very much “had a plan” in 2024.  Democrat voters just weren’t ever meant to be a part of........
