re-election.

For example the GOP doesn't have a primary if a Republican is currently in office and is running for a second term.

You should voice your opinion as much as you want, no one is going to chastise you.

That being said

_ there is no Democratic primary for the 2024 election, just as there was no GOP primary for the 2020 election.

_ Therefore, Donald Trump was the GOP 2020 candidate.

_ just as Biden is indeed the Democratic 2024 candidate.

_ Cenk is a naturalized citizen and is therefore ineligible to be President of the US. I personally believe his candidacy is a “gimmick” to promote his new book on Amazon.

Here’s his book if you want to buy it:

Really! Do you know what happened to Lyndon Johnson in 1968. everyonematters Oct 2023 #12

It is 2023 not 1968. The situation isn't analogous. Joe Biden doesn't have the political baggage LBJ emulatorloo Oct 2023 #13

I disagree on the analogy part. Probably not Cenk. everyonematters Oct 2023 #14

Who though? Currently, credible Dem candidates are supporting Biden. emulatorloo Oct 2023 #15

That's because they don't want to risk having people like you angry at them. They can just wait everyonematters Oct 2023 #16

I'm not angry though. I just am curious about learning who the unnamed alternatives to Biden are. emulatorloo Oct 2023 #17
