      Bidens why we’re here dude.

      If instead of insisting Biden be the candidate from 2023-2024, if we could have had a real primary, quite literally ALL of this could have been prevented.

          Ok. So you are a cynic for whom no answer is going to be good enough.

          Maybe just don’t share any of your perspectives or opinions in the future then, considering the manner of your opinion did direct harm to our ability to stop Trump when we had the chance?

        And if they hadn’t put their thumb on the scale for Hillary in 2016, and she hadn’t decided to reach for some imaginary middle razor thin between corporate liberals and fascists, Trump would just be another dumb clown that tried to be a Republican presidential candidate.

            I feel that, for a lot of folks, he was the last candidate that promised an actual brighter future to believe in. It’s a shame corporate donors pushed him out of the race, as it left a lot of folks feeling that their voices would never be heard. I think it’s even fair to say that his dismissal by the Democrat party directly led to the voter resentment that helped Trump win the elections.

                Ah, but we must move on from that as well. The important stuff to pay attention to will only begin in 2032. Nothing until then matters.

                  This is what makes me lose hope in democracy.

                  Bernie had no chance of winning a general election when he couldn’t even win a primary that’s why Trump wanted to run against him all three times and now there’s people comparing that with ICE occupying a city and murdering American citizens.

            MAGA/Trump is still complaining about Obama, tan suits and Nobel Peace Prizes. Your point being?

        Well, I guess we showed those dems what they get. Too bad there won’t be another election. Gosh, wish we all knew that was coming.
