A knock-off effect is probably the DNC, or people in general, thinking they couldn’t primary a candidate after Biden dropped out because a campaign is supposed to be a years-long, billion-dollar affair.
Biden dropped out after the primary… Also anyone who says there wasn’t a primary is lying. There was a primary in 48 states. And Biden had 87% of the votes. Harris lost because she wasn’t a white man. Anyone who thinks if you took 20 Americans and put them in a room that at least 1/20 of them wouldn’t refuse to vote or would vote against someone because they were a woman or because they were black is just plain wrong no matter how they try to mask it. Every time gender comes up on Lemmy you see people claiming how toxic it is against women, and the defense is “reddit is worse”… And these are the more accepting platforms supposedly.
So when Lemmy, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc users voted… guess what it was in secret, not a public forum that had to explain their vote and face backlash for. No one knew who they voted for.
Trump’s backing literally is naming places after and forcing groups into schools to teach children that you can’t trust black people being pilots, because you shouldn’t trust that they were educated.
Why would they do that? Because they know it helped win them an election, and it will help keep them positions of power

What part are you confused about?
The primary? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries
The racism?
The sexism?
I guess you missed the part where I said after Biden dropped out.
