12. Not fuck around with our Democracy for one

A real primary in 2016 and one in 2024 maybe this is all prevented. But the Dems were hellbent on getting the first women President and anointed two women, (and let me be clear) two VERY CAPABLE women, BOTH should have been President, however, Democrats underestimated the misogyny of the American voter. I never understood why Biden, if he wanted to be President didn't run in 2016? So Biden, who had been in politics his entire life, ends up as VP and then in 2016 says "naaa" after all that time, then decides 4 years later to come back and go for it? This all smells like political bullshit to me...meanwhile we're now a fascist dictatorship. Well played Dems.
