Nobody wants to talk about the fact that both times Trump won, the democrats completely disregarded the primaries.
Apparently, it turns out that people like to feel like they have a choice in who their candidate is going to be.

As an outside observer, this is my biggest takeaway. How can the party that claims to defend democracy just install a new candidate because they didn’t like the polling numbers of the elected candidate. I think people are fed up with hypocrisy.

It's a weird projection thing that they're doing. They picked time waltz, who is fucking weird, so they spent weeks calling JD Vance weird. JD Vance is like the most normal dude ever.
Literally everything the democrats are accusing the Republicans of, they're doing, and doing openly.

Completely on point observation. One could take it further.
They claimed Trump would start WW3. Then they proceeded to stoke WW3. They claimed Trump was unbalanced and dangerous. No new wars started under his watch. He actually talked to Kim and Putin instead of just moving closer to conflict.
Its kinda wild. Obviously I don't trust either crime family but it is interesting to watch how out of wack their message is from reality.

Harris was the worse by far when she ran in the primaries. It really shows how mind controlled the left is that they were surprised by Biden's mental state. I get them hating Trump but there is some deep personal dishonesty. Some willful ignorance going on.

The problem was that they thought they could keep bidens mental state under control.
Hes been a puppet the whole time.
Im sure they wanted him just to get reelected and do another four years!
They werent even ready to send in another candidate.

You are referring to the insiders. I agree with you on that. I am referring to the voters. The democratic voters are really under a deep spell. I mean the masses are in general but clearly the right has for the most part stopped believing the corporate press. That's not to say they are walking around with clear minds and open eyes but they have finally seen how much the press is just a propaganda machine.
I think most presidents are puppets. I really think this is why they despise Trump so much. He was manipulated and contained in his last term but I don't think he's a puppet. He was and will be controlled as much as the power elite can but I don't think he just works for them. If he does, my guess is that he's ignorant of it and they'd like to keep it that way.
You know the joke about wives letting their husbands think they are in charge? Like that. Obama, Biden, Bush... were all puppets in my opinion. They knew they were though.

The voters dont hold that much power, even if they believe they have it.
Yes, trump has his own way, but l believe it is mostly to make himself more influential and wealthy.
If that works for the people that are pulling the strings, then they are okay with it.
If not, they will just create roadblocks.
I know biden was a puppet, but l felt obama was his own man.
Maybe he was the one pulling bidens strings?

Either Obama was a puppet or a lousy liar. He ran on being the anti-Bush but he was Bush 2.0. I know several folks that are anti-war democrats that voted for him for that reason said never again would they support a democrat. I agree with them. His admin was full of war hawks and he expanded the US empire. He presents well. That's it. And usually that is enough for the masses.
