    Sure, yet in the New Hampshire primary, Biden wasn’t even ON THE BALLOT and he won through popular support and a write-in campaign. If he is so unpopular, how did he pull that one off?

      Good job moving the goal posts. Or, did you think we wouldn’t notice?

      I didn’t say he’s unpopular, though he is. In fact, he’s the most unpopular president at this point in his presidency in US history, since polling has been a thing. The reason Democratic voters “Like” him is because he isn’t Trump. They don’t actually like him for himself.

      Trump, on the other hand, the people that want to vote for him REALLY want to vote for him.

      Frankly, I think Biden is the only person the Democratic party could field that would lose to Trump. Conversely, I think anyone on the Republican side but Trump would beat Biden.

      But, all of this is besides the point. You weren’t arguing that Biden was popular. You were arguing, and I quote:

      Who did “the establishment” block from running? You want to go make Bernie run somehow or something? Get the conspiracy theory nonsense out of here. People choose whether or not they will run.

      And it is kind of hard to run if you aren’t even on the fucking ballot. You also implied that people who recognize the public fact that 5 states have removed everyone but Biden from the primary ballot are conspiracy theorists when in fact, they’re just not ignorant of current events like you seem to be.
