      There was no primary this year. The democrats managed to cancel them in a bunch of states even though Biden would’ve easily sailed through against the democratic candidates (uncommitted beat both of them combined where that was an option).

        I was speaking down ballot or during another potus election cycle. I obviously didnt mean to, literally, save that energy for hypothetical elections that would have already happened.

        Also, not having a POTUS primary when there is no challenger and an incumbent isn’t as big of a deal. Tactically, it’s just bad optics with no tangible benefit. It’s definitely something immature people pout about though.

        My bigger point is. I agree with the opinion being communicated but there is no pathway to action on those ideas right now. That energy is for the primaries but its fighting yesterday’s battles. I’m not defending the DNC but its Biden vs Trump, thats just reality. Time to clean your diaper.

      Idiots were saying the same exact thing during the primaries. They’re saying it right now as AIPAC pours millions into races to unseat democrats using Republican money.

      Also, you know, the Dem primary in my state was literally canceled this year so there’s that.

      I’ll go ahead and send the message in the general since that’s the choice neolibs left me. If they don’t like it then they need to not field unelectable conservative candidates.

          Ah the old right-wing “You’ll become more conservative as you get older” trope.

          Havent seen that old chestnut in a while. Really gives away the allegiance here…

            Lol sure thing. I’m not making a statement on ideology at all. Just your maturity on expecting a right now solution and the futility of your method of protest voting.

              Yes. You are making an ideological statement. The cognitive dissonance just makes you uncomfortable
