    They didn’t have a fucking primary? Jesus. (I’m Canadian)

      There was a show primary but candidates were essentially stonewalled from participating and voters browbeaten for not supporting Biden, which is why only wackos like RFK Jr are the only other people who ran.

        Oh. I had wondered what had happened to the 18 month shitshows from previous election cycles.

      Up until tonight, there really was little point. Biden already beat Trump, has the incumbent advantage, and has had a successful term. I’m still not convinced that replacing him suddenly this late is even remotely a good idea unlike a lot of people seem to be

        Three years I’ve been hearing vague rumours he was what I saw tonight. Trump is your next president. My condolences.

          Not American, but a furby surrounded by Biden’s team would still be preferable to Trump to most people, so I’m not sure this changes much. Americans around here seemed to mostly be in the “hold your nose and vote for Biden” camp anyway. Not sure how representative that is.

      They had a primary, did everyone suddenly forget all the Palestine protesters that abstained from voting for Biden in the primary?

        I didn’t, but I don’t think the dems gave a shit about them to begin with.
