For context, it’s the elite media types who are pushing for some sort of contested convention — not the bulk of the Democratic voters.

The DNC ratfucked the primary. AGAIN! For the third fucking time. Yes they did that. It needs to be acknowledged.
And yes, they lied to you about Biden. They’ve been lying to you about Biden.
But at this point, those delegates are Biden/ Harris delegates. There is no changing that. We can caucus with Dems for one more cycle and beat Trump, and then wash our hands of them. But this time we need to extract real party level reforms. No more anointing. No more ratfucking. If they would open up the party, we could make it so that no republican ever gets elected to the Presidency. Ever. They are massively unpopular. But the problem is that the Democrats are also unpopular because they run their party like a fiefdom, and the voters they need don’t like that shit.
I’m plugging my nose and dialing from the coconut tree this go around, but unless the Democratic party actually commits to the project of democracy within their party, this might be the last time I caucus and do their job for them.
Except in 4 years it’ll be trump again if he’s still alive, or Desantis, or trump jr, or whatever the fuck his daughter’s name is. This seems to be our new reality.
Nah. Trump loses to any one but Biden.
I mean, trump lost to Biden. Trump beat Hillary. So, that statement is objectively false.
This kind of naivete is what was setting Trump up for a second term. Thank god the worlds not all like this.
It’s naive to quote objective reality? I didn’t say that Biden could win again, I said that Biden beat him, and Hillary lost to him. You said that anyone other than Biden wins against Trump, and that is objectively false, since Hillary already lost to him in a previous election. It’s naive to think that anyone could beat him, that’s what led to his first victory.
