    RFK is not running as a democrat, he’s running as third party. Cornell West and Jill Stein are also third party. I’m talking about the democratic primary election. Marianne is a meme, she only got votes because she became a member of the uncommitted campaign where uncommitted wasn’t an option. In states such as Virginia where uncommitted was not an option, the uncommitted campaign told people to vote for Marianne.

    I’m not sure why you think that you’re disagreeing with me. You agree that the party apparatus either blocked them from running or told them not to run. That means that nobody ran against Biden in the election. I’m not saying nobody wanted to run.

      RFK ran as a democrat and ended that campaign to run as an independent & I don’t think Marianne was a serious candidate, I just object to the “Biden won the primary” / “No one opposed Biden” news headline and lemmyverse post bullshit.

      I don’t think that I disagree with you in a broad sense but people actually did run and I think those attempts being killed is a meaningful thing to mention
