    The primary election isn’t about who will be president. It’s about who will be a given party’s candidate (to be president.).

    which means that right now, Biden is not competing with Trump, and Trump is not competing with Biden, because they’re in diametrically apposed parties. refusing to even consider alternatives to Biden when Biden is extremely and deeply unpopular across large swaths of the DNC base is… pretty myopic… if you’re goal is to defeat Trump in November.

      apposed

      Not being a dick but did you mean opposed or literally apposed?

      I don’t get what apposition is, its a weird word+concept
