Biden's initial 2nd term candidacy and Harris' subsequent mangled candidacy speak to serious problems in the Democratic Party. As does their attitude toward materially supporting Israel's genocide of Palestinians, despite massive disapproval from voters.
Being funded by corporations has caused the Democratic Party to see actual voters as merely something to be managed and manipulated, rather than respected and ultimately obeyed. And I've seen zero indications of change regarding those attitudes, but rather accusations of racism and misogyny against democrats who opted out of voting, and more pandering to the extreme right in the name of centrism.
The Democratic Party (and our American democracy) is in dire need of improvement and reform, but is currently led by people who would personally be financially and professionally harmed by reform. They need to be replaced via election primaries, and it's highly relevant to discuss the examples which demonstrate that need.
