Hi. Joe Biden is the presumptive Democratic nominee in 2024. What this episode presupposes is... what if he wasn't?Go to https://ground.news/SMN to stay full...
Personally I don’t believe that primaries are especially democratic even in it’s best form, though I’d rather have a flawed democratic process than a purely oligarchic selection (to be clear, there is currently major oligarchic influence). However, it’s never the fault of voters that they have to operate in an oligarchic system.
You’re right, it’s not the voter’s fault. It’s the fault of the people that elect these individuals. Because no matter how wealthy or powerful you are, if you don’t get elected, you can’t be in office.
Oh wait, that’s the voter’s being at fault again. I’m 100% for changing the system. I agree with you that it’s heavily flawed. And designed from it’s founding to serve the wealthy. But blaming the parties won’t change it. They’re a product of that system.
