The idea that because Biden beat him once then he’s the one to beat him again is like saying to an actor that since you won the Oscar last year of course you’ll win it again this year. IT’S A DIFFERENT MOVIE THIS YEAR. And nowhere in the Constitution is there some special assignation given to incumbency . When Eugene McCarthy challenged Lyndon Johnson, no one thought he “shouldn’t!” We just thought that was democracy.

Not so sure about that. I sure as hell know that when Kennedy challenged Carter, they said he shouldn't.

I was excited about you and your campaign but more reading produced ‘proxy war.’ Seriously??

The only way Biden wins is if we keep doing what we always do: vote for the lesser of two evils. I hope we do things differently this year because Biden isn’t even a viable candidate anymore… #Marianne2024

FYI, Marianne, the Constitution doesn't actually say anything about political parties and what they're "allowed" to do. And it's political parties in the US that determine who runs and who doesn't. But feel free to continue depending on the gullibility of your followers.

Lots of people were voting for “back to normalcy” Everything is not back to normal so they’ll vote for cheap gas and food with trump

You're right. It is a different movie. Last time, trump had the advantage of being the incumbent. This time, Biden does.

Even more recently, Jimmy Carter being challenged by Ted Kennedy. Apparently the rules for challenging incumbency are arbitrarily determined by the DNC.

Context matters. The Reichpublican party today is not what it was in Lyndon Johnson's era. It's both hilarious and saddening that a line before you made this strawman argument, you said, in all caps, "IT'S A DIFFERENT MOVIE THIS YEAR." It's a different movie 55 years ago, too.
