    Wow, The comments here are an absolute shitshow.

    Be as upset as you want with Obama or Biden. But remember, neither of them are on the table for this next election cycle.

        You Lemmy.ml people asked Biden to step down because he’s old. What did you expect? He stepped down because he’s old just like you wanted, and even endorsed a candidate who doesn’t have any dementia at all. Who did you expect him to endorse, Mao’s zombie?

          I’m somewhat baffled by him stepping down from running, but remaining president for the entire year. It seems like whoever is running for president, Kamala should have already taken over. It also feels weird having her just get inserted at the end of the process like that’s a normal thing, but I can’t really complain as I voted no preference anyways.

            Drag thinks he’s still got the same legislation skills as always, it’s just the campaigning skills that went because his speech disorder from childhood came back. So they picked someone without dementia to do the campaigning, and he’ll be out of office before the dementia hits his prefrontal cortex like it has with Trump. It’s a sensible decision.

        I mean, downvote all you want but they’re right. No one picked Harris except for Joe Biden. The primary was half assed at best, and there was no democratic process to select the Democratic party nominee. You’re insane if you don’t think that Biden’s dementia wouldn’t have surface during an actual primary process. We could have easily avoided this Trump apocalypse if the Democratic establishment let us have a real primary.

          They’re not and you’re lying.

          The dnc occurred, the reps voted en masse for Kamala.

          The reps were nominated by the same process that has happened for over a century. The timeline was different but the process still occurred and you’re lying about it.

          The reps that voted for Kamala were nominated in the same fashion as every US election you’ve ever been alive for. It was a televised event where everyone in the party voted and agreed. Stop this bullshit.

              Good for you! Pointing out inconsistencies as if they were national truths!

              You almost look like you’re pointing out a conspiracy BUT oh I’m so sorry, there is none!

              Point to the dnc! Not a png!

              Edit: to mention you didn’t vote you just now complained in a way to convince others to not vote. Thats scummy.

                What? I voted

                Good for you! Pointing out inconsistencies as if they were national truths!

                Kamala is Bidens hand-picked successor. How is that untrue?

                  Simple she was nominated by the DNC. She was not coronated and Biden didn’t step out and say “Kamala” magically creating the bullshit you describe.

                  Votes were cast by a variety of reps nominated by the same process that has existed throughout your whole lifetime.

                  What part of that confounds your brain?

          It’s the same thing that brought on the first Trump presidency! The DNC tells you who you will vote for and you will like it!!

          DNC supporters have Stockholm syndrome!

            Man I’d hate to jump to conclusions but that’s a lot of divisive comments from a 24 day old account.

              It’s especially dumb because democratic primary votes overwhelmingly chose Clinton. It was never really a race at all, pretty much from start to finish she crushed Sanders. So this idea that the dnc picked her and everyone was forced to vote for her is just hogwash.
