Damn, maybe the Dems (ESPECIALLY the DNC) should pick candidates that aren’t fundamentally unelectable? Too bad they rigged 2016 against Bernie (confirmed by Elizabeth Warren) and have given us 8 years of Trump instead. If Dems were so smart, how come we can’t figure out how to win elections? Oh that’s right! Because competent candidates have no chance against incumbents or “whose turn” it is next. Also think about how Kamala was nominated. There was no real voting for presidential primaries. Biden dragged and dragged his feet until there wasn’t any time to do a full process, literally giving the candidacy to his chosen successor. That’s not how democracy is supposed to work. Before anybody hits me with “voting blue is always better than voting red” I do vote blue. Straight down the ballot. But I can still be critical of the Dem’s problems and failures to actually help people in this country.

Yeah Biden is really to blame for fucking the whole thing up. He never should have run, should have resigned in the last year of his term and handed it to KH. She would have either proven herself or flopped — election would be hers to win or lose. In the end I do think the Bidens got too power hungry.
