    Biden’s approval rating with democrats is about the same as Obama’s was in 2011. All holding a primary would do is weaken their position in the general election. I can’t tell if this is a deliberate propaganda campaign or people are actually this clueless and think incumbent presidents regularly compete in primaries.

      Honestly I think it’s both. This type of talking point is easy to sell to the people who whine about The Establishment without putting in a modicum of effort to understand why things are that way
