Well, at least in the states where they didn’t succeed in keeping everyone else off the ballot.

There was no real primary. Even 2020 wasn’t a real primary. The fix is in with mainstream media and the major outlets taking their queues from the establishment.

The idea that we have an actual democracy is laughable, and the Democratic party does everything in their power to keep it that way. Biden won in 2020 because the establishment picked him and the media did as they were told. There is no democracy without an independent press.

Biden is a better choice than Trump for a multitude of reasons, but not saving democracy.

Then let’s hold a primary.

We can still get back to democracy. This isn’t democracy. Did you even read my comment btw? This knee jerk canned response isn’t even human.

the only one who decides if he continues is Biden.

Got it.

Biden is who we need to vote for to keep our democracy.

Um, what? Vote Biden to save Democracy, and fuck you if you want a different candidate.

I’ll vote for Biden’s corpse in 2028 if it’s still the only way to keep Trump out of the Whitehouse, but give up the “save Democracy” schtick. That ship has sailed. Democracy is dead, and it’s not just the Republican’s fault.

The term “court packing” has a very specific meaning. It refers to adding seats to the supreme court to shift the balance.

Bernie would crush Jesus too.

We have to save democracy from Trump, so we can’t afford the luxury of a primary election. /s

The issue wasn’t that people didn’t show up. There was record turnout for a primary race. The issue was concerns about electability. The talking heads kept repeating incessantly that Biden had the better shot at beating Trump. It was complete bullshit based off polls, but people believed it. Beating Trump was the top priority with policy taking a back seat. The position we are in now is the universe’s sense of irony.

The thing that fucks American elections isn’t our abysmal turnout. It’s the complete lack of civic involvement between elections that makes voters easily malleable by expensive ad campaigns.

By the time the Illinois primary came around, it was already over. He still got my vote, for what it was worth.

Why not both?

Once upon a time, search. Those days are long past.

6 decades of third parties have failed to gain momentum but sure, 6 months (or 4) is plenty.

Draft John Stewart.

If actual content were the goal, they would hav gotten more than 2 minutes per answer.

Kamala is the backup the party leadership chose.

Both candidates would get laughed off stage here

There’s a reason there was no audience.

The DNC gets to pick any replacement. To them, that’s far better than rolling the dice on a progressive winning a primary.

It’s come to the point where the risk of changing the candidate has to be weighed against the risk of not changing the candidate.

It’s hardly unthinkable. Half the party has been thinking it, now the other half is waking up.

Trump just said Biden sucks at golf, then Biden gave an incoherent response.
