    All I hear is complaining without any alternative candidate being proposed.

    Normally that’s thru our primary system…

    Unfortunately this year the DNC pulled an entire states primary delegates for something controlled by the Republicans who control the states laws.

    But even if they let the primaries happen, running against Biden is essentially career suicide

    It’s not even a decade sense the DNC was openly blacklisting anyone that worked on a primary campaign against an incumbent.

    Stop pretending a single private party with zero accountability is enough of an option against Republicans

      Mathematically, they quite literally are the only option until we can get rid of FPtP voting. It’s not the DNC’s fault that “3rd parties” aside from the DSA refuse to do the ground work necessary at state & local level to be taken seriously by anyone other than a handful of crackpots.

      You be famous if you could prove Duverger’s Law wrong. But you can’t.

        No one is disagreeing with that chief…

        But if we just accept it, we’re fucked.

        Which is why:

          Voting is a chess move, not a love letter.
