No one was trying to “force Biden.” Biden was the candidate. No one ran against him. The only person who had control over whether he decided to bow out was Biden himself. As long as he was the candidate, fuck yes I’m going to be all-in on Biden, because the alternative is Trump. That doesn’t prevent me from simultaneously observing reality and airing my concerns about his abilities to the party. The second he dropped out, every “Blue MAGA” you’re on about breathed a sigh of relief and lined up behind Harris, demonstrating how what you’re describing isn’t even remotely comparable to “MAGA.”
I get what you’re coming from, but people did run against him. It’s just they weren’t taken seriously because usually an incumbent is considered the de facto candidate for a party in most cases.
No one with a snowball’s chance in hell of winning any primary, even if there were no incumbent. There were no realistic candidates in the primary besides Biden, and he beat all those candidates handily regardless
I think you’re crazy if you think no one had a chance even if Biden weren’t an incumbent.
Part of the reason there were so few realistic candidates is because he was the incumbent. Both because of tradition and because of the momentum being an incumbent gives him.
I’m really annoyed that Marianne Williamson is so… kooky. I’ve so far only seen good policy ideas from her, but I just don’t think she has good judgment based on her beliefs. I don’t need to vote for an atheist, but I can’t get behind her level of magical thinking.

Ahh I see we’re in the re-writing the past phase.
What from what I said is “rewriting the past?” I lived it, my man. I was there lol
