    It’s all just right wing propaganda, convince the population ‘Biden is bad, take your ball and go home’ and you suppress the vote. They can’t institute poll taxes or tests any more, and with vote by mail becoming commonplace they can’t rely on showing up at polling places with guns to suppress turnout.

    When more people vote the left wins, and that’s what the right are afraid of, thus the persistent drumbeat of ‘stay home if he’s not good enough’.

      It’s crazy a comment like this gets so many upvotes when

      1. Thousands of registered democrats have voted “uncommitted” in primaries around the country. Most notably Michigan.
      2. People are clearly worried about Biden’s chances in 2024 despite his win in 2020. Which means somebody who voted for Biden in 2020 won’t in 2024.

      If you shut every one of these conversations down with baseless accusations that 20/20 hindsight is gonna be super awkward when someone asked “Who could have seen this coming??”

        Concerned, yes, and made all the more so when there are a sizable number of people willing to throw a vote out to make a point because he’s not flawless and instead let the wolves in while they pretend that their hands are clean.

          You’re telling me you believe voters need to cater to politicians? It’s Biden’s responsibility to represent the people he needs to get elected. His failure to do that is is own. What don’t you understand about democracy?

        This is true, but trump is far further to the right than biden. I’ll take losing less over losing more any day even if we can’t have an actually left leaning candidate

            I’d love to see a ranked choice multi party system, but as things stand that’s not the option we have.

              I’m sure that voting for a candidate from one of the two dominant parties will lead to ranked choice voting.

                  You have aided it by voting for Biden in the 2020 primaries and by refusing to hold him accountable during his term to the people who gave him a chance.

    That’s what I don’t understand.

    Biden is wildly unpopular for more reasons than he can fix before the election.

    If beating trump is all that matters, why the fuck are we running Joe Biden against him?

    The party learned nothing from Hillary. Or they’d rather have trump than someone who agrees with voters.

        Running for the nomination is a good way to be exiled from the party.

        Not that Democrat primaries are very democratic. They just run 5 slightly less progressive candidates that all agree the popular progressive can’t win who all drop out at the 11th hour.

        It’s not our job to come up with a solution to a problem created by moderate and liberal voters, the DNC, establishment Democrats and Joe Biden himself. We had solid people running in the 2020 primaries. The people who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 are responsible for figuring a way out of this mess. Not us.

              “Vote for Joe Biden considering that he’s the best actual candidate running”?

              I dunno man, maybe we just don’t think “Surrender to fascism because we want to teach the DNC A Lesson™ like we TOTALLY did in 2016, 2004, and 2000” is a viable option. Guess we’re just not left-wing enough to understand that making sure fascism wins is the REAL left-wing praxis. /s

                We did. In 2020. And then Biden proceeded to cater exclusively to moderate and liberals and left progressives and leftists out in the cold. In other words, the only solution moderates and liberals have put forward is “Give us everything, shut the fuck up and vote for who we tell you to.”

                Respectfully, we reject giving that “solution” a second try. What else have they got?

      “the party learned nothing from Hilary” I think they learned a few things, even if not as much as we’d like. They did turn down the power superdelegates have in primaries, for example. Moving in the right direction, even a little, is more than “nothing”.
