    I think it’s far simpler than that. Biden doesn’t win 2024 if his opponent isn’t Trump, his entire campaign message is designed to go head to head with Trump and only Trump. The dems don’t want him to be removed from enough ballots that someone else wins the republican primary.

      Exactly. If any other republican runs Genocide Joe wouldn’t even be the lesser evil anymore. Biden needs Trump to win.

          No, the dem partyty “forgot” about that when they refused to codify it everytime they had the majorities to do it.

          Because the threat of Republicans outlawing abortion gave them votes.

          They didn’t want to finish that fight, they wanted to keep it as a difference between the two corporate parties.

          If they can play fight about social issues, their rich donors all stay happy no matter who wins.

          Republicans are just the asshole pro wrestler who doesn’t understand the other guy is trying to put on a show and isn’t legitimately fighting.
