    Biden, Obama, and Clinton didn’t just magically appear and become contenders to the Democratic primaries. They spent decades as party members, working their way up from the bottom.

    this is the whole ball of wax

      Are you suggesting that famous people from outside the party should be placed at the top of the ticket?

      Good leaders spend a long time building experience. Someone with a strong legislative, judicial, or executive record should be the candidate. Not some reality TV star or shitty actor. We’ve done that enough in my lifetime.

      So yeah, the candidate should be someone that’s been with the party for a long time, and that’s why it’s so important to get involved and vote in local primaries and elections so that the kind of candidate you want to support is the one that’s been working their way through party leadership for 20 years.

        saying it doesn’t make it true.

        no…you’re making a leap of logic

        this is exactly who my candidate is not.
