Were the 14 million Americans who voted for Biden in the Primary the victim of a bait and switch?

[shockedcanadian]

Some posters on youtube are angry, some claiming they are a victim of fraud.

Were they fooled into voting for Biden when those behind him knew he was going to bow out (by force or otherwise) and his electorates transferred to Harris?

Every Dem I know voted for Biden in the primaries and every Dem I know is happy as fuck with what went down yesterday.

Nope. After the debate, people who supported Biden knew his time was up and he wasn't going to be able to beat Trump.
I haven't heard of any delegates so far that won't pledge to Harris. And that's all that matters. Not Joe Q Public on X.

The only people really disappointed this morning....are Trump and his supporters, who now have a huge campaign fight on their hands.

There were 14M voters, I'm not so sure the majority of them wanted to cast their vote for Harris as president

Yep. Between the left leaning forum I am on and FB, I sure have.

14 million Americans voted in those primaries only to have their vote negated so that the party elite can choose their nominee for them. Even in normal election years they use super delegates to override the people if they don't get the result the political elites want (ie. Bernie Sanders)

From the party that tells you to vote for them in order to "save" democracy.

Okay, get a life then.

Most knew they were doing so as even the most ardent Biden supporter knew he did would not be able to serve 4 more years had he won

nothing was done "by force or otherwise." to disenfranchise any voters. every one who voted for biden in the primary also voted for harris.

There are not enough super delegates to override anything.

There are 739 Super delegates and just under 4000 normal ones. Do the math if you can, if not find a 4th grader to explain it to you.

No, they didn't vote for Harris. She is the residual of their vote. A necessary evil even in the case they didn't support the V.P. They voted for Biden. When you go to the polling booth, it doesn't say "Biden/Harris". It says "Biden". Singular.

I think he would have beaten Trump. Trump is degrading daily. He's very beatable.

MAGA wingnuts are so concerned about the feelings of Democrats.

i think so, as well, but i guess we will never know.

ms harris is a good choice for 2024. and may surprise us pleasantly.

I know right, how dare I speak with people I have been friends with for 30 plus years in some cases on a Sunday night

No, they voted for Biden. Yes, everyone knows Harris is on the ticket with him, but she wasn't going to be the president, he was. Harris couldn't even muster 15% of the primary vote in California when she ran in 2020. She was grossly unpopular and even now her approval ratings are in the 30s. She's been one of the most incompetent VPs ever.

The "enthusiasm" you're seeing right now is a knee jerk reaction to Biden bowing out after the worst debate performance in presidential history and sinking poll numbers. Maybe they'll stick with her; maybe they won't. Give it a few weeks and see how the polls look between her and Trump. If she doesn't see much improvement you may have a rocky convention coming up.
