    Wrong again, little dude. The DNC is not in charge of Biden, quite the opposite.

    We have an oligarchic duopoly squatting in our democratic republic, and a plethora of military juntas (AKA police unions) bullying our devolved local powers into submission. The American experiment ended a few decades ago, and we never even noticed. Maybe go duck hunting with a judge about it.

      You literally just said:

      This is not how the system actually works. Both parties are private organizations whose internal policies are regulated internally

      And the DNC’s lawyers have told a judge:

      We could have—and we could have voluntarily decided that, Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way. That’s not the way it was done. But they could have. And that would have also been their right.

      So why do you think the DNC can’t name someone besides Biden the candidate?

        The current chairman was selected by Biden, so he’s presumably onside. He and the rest could hypothetically stage an internal coup against Biden, but you’re describing something that has never to my knowledge occurred, and would smash the political machine of the party from within.

        At that point we’re talking about an actual revolution, and you and I are not close enough to open that discussion.

          Right, we haven’t tried it before…

          We have tried running an incumbent with approval numbers as bad as Biden before tho.

          How much do you know about Jimmy Carter’s second term?

          At that point we’re talking about an actual revolution

          I think the problem is the furtherest left we have is AOC. And despite what republicans and moderate Dems say, she’s way more of an MLK than a Malcom. And MLK was very open that his peaceful approach was only accepted because the alternative to MLK wasn’t the status quo, it was motherfukin Malcolm.

          The only downside to AOC people can come up with that is that she’s the furthest left, so to fix that we need to bring up other names.

          Like self avowed communist, rapper, writer, director, and political activist for decades: Boots Riley.

          And just like Malcolm wasn’t prepared to accept the status quo, Boots has a plan for when voting truly stops working:

          I truly hope it never comes to that, but historically it’s got a pretty good success rate…

          And just the existence of a Malcolm like option makes conservatives suddenly wishing for AOC.

          But here’s a clip from Boots’ most recent show that shows how on point his messaging is if he gets a platform:
