Did you see the other candidates? Did you want Dean Phillips? Or Jason Palmer? I’m kind of confused who this shunted star was.
You act like the primaries were meaningful.
They weren’t.
They were suppressed to keep actual candidates out. They were a nod to pro-forma bullshit because “legally” they had to. Which is why uncommitted was as successful a rebuke as it was.
You should probably take all those uncommitted votes as a warning. They’re people who voted against genocide… and many won’t vote for Biden in the general.
Is it stupid? Sure. Is Trump worse? Absolutely. Doesn’t mean Biden has much more of a chance than a snowball in Hell, Norway.
My honest question is what do you think will happen? I want ranked choice. Only path to that is not voting in Trump. Maybe, just fucking maybe, if we got ranked choice I could for once in my fucking life not vote for simply the lesser evil, but who I actually want.
The US’s policy with Israel is not changing until we get way more progressives. Thats a fantasy that I wish were true, but its not. So no matter what you do November, Gaza is not getting help.
I live here. I need to prevent this place from becoming a christian nationalist nation. That is a higher priority on my list than anything else. I would love to vote for someone that just says fuck you to Israel. That candidate does not exist.
To be honest, this is why democrats have never had any serious effort to switch. As the “lesser” evil, they still benefit from the duopoly as much as the republicans do.
Same. I put Biden’s chances as extremely not-good. The reality is, Biden won only by the barest of margins. Like. Statistically not-at-all margins. National polls don’t matter. Neither do local polls, for that matter.
He barely won last time and he’s losing votes like a seed spreader.
Of your goal is to beat Trump… you need to take an honest look at Biden.
I don’t know what will happen, though. My guess is that if Biden bows out, which is the only way i see dems winning, the. It’ll be Harris, or some moderate white guy. Unfortunately, I don’t see Biden bowing out because he actually thinks he can win.
Thats what sucks about it. We almost need some show stopper to take the limelight. We dont have one. At this rate, I’m not worrying what the DNC does, or who the nominee is. My focus is switching to getting registered democrats to the booths with plans. Take about it, have them verbally say what they will do, and repeat. We have the numbers. We just need the turnout to beat the Republican turnout and they’re comin’ in hot off the heals of their own mythology.
