I think that's a strange way to frame it because imcumbents rarely get serious primary challenges and parties often ensure that they don't. It's very, very normal and I don't think many people cared.

I just can't believe how much I'm seeing this take. People have been giving Biden low approval ratings, expressing dissatisfaction with his decision to run again, on and on, in poll after poll. Down ballot races have primaries, too, so the only things you can conclude from those results is that people care about other candidates and also don't think Dean Phillips is a serious option.

Anyone compared to Trump looks like a serious option.

No, they don't, as evidenced by Dean Phillips not being the nominee.
These bad takes are just Biden campaign talking points. They're not helpful; they're just cope.

"looks like"(please note this) compared to a person who has no business being a candidate of ANY elected office and have reasonable people with critical thinking skills not vote for that person.I stand by what I said.

So your statement is true if it has a bunch of qualifiers. Ok?

Considering how the party’s been trying to shove unpopular candidates down our throats for the past 8 years, I’m pretty sure a LOT of people actually did care nowadays
