BREAKING: Actor James Van Der Beek posted an ill-informed video attacking the DNC saying that it is undemocratic to not hold a debate for incumbent President Joe Biden.
Here are some FACTS James:
- In 2020 the RNC did NOT Hold Debates When Trump ran for re-election
- In 2012 the DNC did NOT Hold Debates When Obama ran for re-election
- In 2004 the RNC did NOT Hold Debates When Bush ran for re-election
- In 1996 the DNC did NOT Hold Debates When Clinton ran for re-election
- In 1992 the RNC did NOT Hold Debates When Bush Sr. ran for re-election
- In 1984 the RNC did NOT Hold Debates When Reagan ran for re-election
- In 1980 the DNC did NOT Hold Debates When Carter ran for re-election
While I wouldn't mind seeing candidates debate, to pretend that the DNC is suddenly trampling on Democracy because Biden won't debate in the primary, is simply laughable.
