The DNC fought Zohran and Bernie harder than they ever did Trump

They did this in 2022 as well.
It never works. They never learn.
Third time is the charm
I know of the 2016 one, but not the 2022 one. What are the details of that?
iirc the DNC funded and encouraged a bunch of extremely racist and fringe GOP 2022 congressional primary candidates in a repeat of the 2016 pied piper strategy

Funnily enough a lot of conservative papers were complaining about it at the time because Trump was seen as toxic in 2022 until Desantis cratered.
I don't think they needed to run it in 2024. Desantis was just that bad lol.
Trump cut their taxes. Under capitlaism that is the ethically correct choice. Why would they do otherwise?
