    Regardless there was still a primary. I voted in it I had the choice of who to vote for. That there was a clear and overwhelming favorite doesn’t change that fact.

      People have been bitching and moaning for months (I bet you included) that Biden shouldn’t be the nominee, that he was too old, that he was in cognitive decline, etc.

      Now he’s not the nominee and the bitching is that people didn’t get to vote in a primary.

      As soon as we perfect time machine technology, maybe we can give you what you want. Until then, you’re stuck with this reality.

        Right? Like what if he had a stroke and was ina vegetative state. Would we just have to keep him as the nominee?

        Your answer is to throw up your hands and say “what’s done is done”? How are we doing to get them to do it right next time if we don’t make a stink now?

              If there’s a serious candidate with enough support to be considered, they will campaign and vote.

          There are only FOUR Months until the election! The campaign logistics (volunteers, staff, offices, ballots, etc) to set up for a completely new candidate are INSANE and the fact that this has to be explained is mind boggling.

            And that means we can’t give them give them shit for how badly this whole thing was handled? That’s a recipe for the same nonsense 4 years from now

              You can complain all you want but complaining about how bad things were handled is like standing on the sidelines whining about the iceberg while people are trying to set up lifeboats on the titanic.

              You have nothing of substance to say.
