What made them “not serious”? Did they have shit opinions? Did they forget their lines? Or was it just that they weren’t popular enough?
I bet you it’s the latter. Well who makes people popular? We fucking do. We share their shit on social media. We talk about them on forums, with family, friends, and strangers. We buy their merch and plaster it all over the place. But because the US population was told “Biden’s your only chance”, they rallied behind him.
Not behind some independent with values, with new proposals, with credentials, with opinions of this age, with the ability to stay awake during a debate. No. The citizens of the USA got behind some old fart they were told to.
There’s a history here. Back with Jimmy Carter, he had a primary challenge from Ted Kennedy. Carter won, but only by 51% to 37%. He was already having trouble of course, but it was just one more thing that hurt him and got Reagan in power. We all know how that went. So now the general practice is to clear the field for the incumbent if they choose to run for reelection. Biden hasn’t been given any special out.
Trump is of course an odd case since he’s not an incumbent, but his grip on the Republican Party gives him a position near to that of an incumbent. He was always by far and away the frontrunner, and every other Republican candidate was for the chattering class.
Remember the write-in uncommitted thing? Those were primaries.
You couldn’t even be bothered to check. There were 2 other democratic candidates. And there are independent candidates.
So yeah, voters have options, they just don’t want to use them.
A bunch of nobodies ran against biden, no serious contenders.
