    We had a vigorous primary, many interesting candidates in '19-20 (Bernie leading easily until SC, Warren backstab, pandemic). Before Super Tuesday, Democrat primary voters were told to unite around Biden, and they did. So that was… weird, but maybe I can blame pandemic.

    Biden’s been more progressive than I would’ve imagined, and is surrounded by decent people, so I’m not concerned about his ancient brain quite yet. The other option is… religious fascism, destruction of govt, civil war, T**** family dictatorship, etc. Let’s go Brandon, I guess.

      Yeah, I just hope he lasts the next 4 years. Meanwhile hopefully we do end up with better candidates. Bernie would have been a heck of a president. We need a Bernie that is 30 years old.

        They could convince Taylor Swift to run. Not sure what the office would do to her ego though. She already is like pseudo royalty. Also not sure if we want another billionaire to run. I think she might even be old enough in time for her coronation ahem, inauguration.

          Call me whatever you want. If you don’t need my vote then ignore me. If you do then fucking pay attention.

            Look kid. You do what you want. It’s your vote. That’s what democracy is. But don’t get used to it. Because when it’s gone, it won’t be illegal to blame you for it.

              Anybody who doesn’t like the rape apologist supports Trump 😭😭😭

              Everyone seems to hate Clarence Thomas but doesn’t seem to remember Biden grilling Anita Hill.

              It’s almost like the guy above you is complaining that we had many better options during the 2020 primary, but people like you voted for a dogshit candidate that is literally losing in the polls to an overt fascist.

              So when democracy is gone, I personally will blame people who saw how much a threat Trump was and thought fucking Joe Biden was the best choice.

                Exactly. And if you ask people why they voted for Joe Biden they’ll come right out and say it: They wanted to fight against the interests of progressives and leftists. Then they have the gall to turn around and act like we’re on the same side in the general.

              Look kid.

              Look Boomer. You voted for a procorporate trash candidate in the 2020 primaries. That was your decision. You’re responsible for how they do in the general election. I’m not responsible for how your garbage candidate performs.

        It’s rich fuckers that live in and near cities that don’t see themselves as racist even though they are. They just want the status quo without feeling bad about it.
