        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.

          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.

            You’re projecting

            I don’t think Democracy is functioning. I don’t think you know what projecting means.

      First time?

      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?
