Bernie was buy-and-large the most popular candidate in 2016. Mainstream media all but refused to put him on air(He was bad for business, i.e. for millionaires/billionaire executives). The DNC completely fucked us when they still elected to put Hillary on the ballot; even with the GOP colluding with the FBI to investigate her, whether or not that was legitimate is irrelevant. The DNC fucked us. And yet… Like others have said, our democracy is currently so fragile that we have no real other choice other than to vote D straight down the ballot.
The only other possible option would be for a major of the country to write-in the same person in the primary election and then for that person to register as an official candidate and then run in the general election and win. The vast majority of states require a candidate to be registered for them to be a write-in. And good fucking luck convincing a majority of this country to agree on one person. Personally, if that were to happen I would proudly write-in Jon Stewart.
Biden hasn’t been that bad. Not bad enough to risk never getting to vote again.
But the people who are telling me I have to vote for Biden regularly assure me democracy is functioning.
It’s so ridiculous. I’ll vote for him because I think it’s currently the best option of two entire options in a very broken system, but we really need to do something to get rid of “vote blue no matter who” because it’s goddamn ridiculous. It’s like careening wildly from one side of the highway to the other while screaming “this is fine!”
I’m all for election reform. I think it’s our only way out of this.
That’s never going to happen because procorporate trash like Biden will never allow it and procorporate trash is who voters in the 2020 primaries keep selecting because they’re actively fighting progressives and leftists. Then they turn around and want to act like we’re on the same side in the general. It’s pathetic.
A) The incumbent party always runs the sitting president if they are eligible for another term. That’s not rigging, it’s literally how it works.
B) Yes, the DNC rigs the primaries. Did you already forget when the DNC forced Hillary on us in 2016? Hell, if you’re asking that question than you obviously already forgot 2016, so of course you don’t even remember 2020.
C) For someone with such strong opinions, you don’t seem to know much about the process. Seriously, is this your first time paying attention? Or is this your first time as an eligible voter?
Lol. Like all the bad loser pathetic whiney bitches who were big mad when we didn’t show up for Hillary? Stop voting for procorporate trash in the primaries.
That’s more of a DNC decision. It’s traditional for both parties to run their incumbent candidate because the incumbent usually wins.
And did win.

Did you just admit the DNC primaries are rigged?
After Bernie got fucked, was there ever any question?
I didn’t have any question no. But the people who are telling me I have to vote for Biden regularly assure me democracy is functioning.

No. We don’t all think that. You’re projecting because you’re angry and sad.
I don’t think Democracy is functioning. I don’t think you know what projecting means.

Buddy I was talking about the 2020 primaries. You misread my comment.
Who said they’re not. But that has nothing to do with you choosing to elect Trump. That’s just you being a bad loser pathetic whiney bitch.
