    The DNC can list whoever they want there

    Well, yes, but they want Biden there.

    The last three elections they’ve picked geriatric unpopular candidates and refuse to listen to voter feedback.

    Those candidates were picked by voters, so this isn’t exactly true. They just lead voters by the nose through establishment bias in mainstream media.

    The one place where I think this is true is with Kamala Harris. She solidly lost the 2020 primary, yet there is a chance that she will be the one to finish a Biden second term, and they will try to skip her next primary because they will call her an incumbent. That is the eventuality that we should be preparing to fight right now. The battle to replace Biden for 2024 was a worthy one, but we lost.

    “vote blue no matter who” is fucking you

    Did I say that? The second we have a red candidate that’s better than a blue one, I’m voting red. Third party strategies will fuck me worse.

    1. The DNC needs voters more than voters need the DNC.

    Meaningless drivel with no practical strategic relevance. It would be awesome if we could form an ideal party and get most Democratic voters to switch, but that’s a childish fantasy.

    then Biden spent a bunch on a write in campaign and bragged he “won”.

    Getting the most votes as a write in is pretty impressive honestly. The real scandal is that the DNC put a swing state in jeopardy to favor a deeply red state just to create a harder path for progressives. Hang them with that.

    But I’m blocking right after I send this.

    Whatever.
