Only an idiot would look at the two options and not choose Harris. She wasn't a great candidate, but she was orders of magnitude better than the alternative.
The time to protest vote is in the primaries.
The DNC didn't allow us to protest vote though... they forced Biden, he proved too feeble, forced Harris, who backed Isreal, and then (yet a-fucking-gain) saw a weak voter turnout. I voted for the lesser of two evils, while holding my nose, like I needed to... but the rest of the country hates women and is too stupid to know what's in our conjoined best-interest.
The dnc has been totally out to lunch since at least 2012. Shit I'm at a point I'd be happy to see a good Republican candidate, u ever listen to George Bush talking when he was in office? The goal posts have moved so far right he sounds like a democratic leftie by todays standards.
It was in 2008, DNC went hard on fucking over Obama, and rather than reform the DNC when he won, he washed his hands of them. Now we're here, with a group that cares more about controlling the field of candidates rather than winning a general election.
The DNC wanted the win of "first black president" and never wanted to push for polices to allow another one to happen.
It really fucks with your mind doesn't it? I'm not even THAT old, and even I recall when Republicans were slightly more left than modern Democrats.
Before 9/11 he actually wanted to fast track the path to citizenship. I think if it hadn't happened he would have been a pretty ok one term president.
There was a primary, just no one of any relevance ran against Biden because he was the incumbent and that's the way we have always done it. I'm pretty sure I voted against Biden to make a point. Did you?
The DNC can't actually force anything. They didn't want Bernie running at all. They didn't want AOC making every other Dem look like a conservative. They really didn't want Zohran to show people that leftists can win. But all those things happened.
The expression "Democrats have once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory" is sadly accurate, for the wrong reasons.
There were primaries?
Not really, but that doesn't change the fact that the other option was Donald "I'll be a dictator on day one and you'll never vote again" Trump.
In fact, I'd bet good money that the fact that she didn't campaign in the primaries was the reason she softened several of her stances. Campaigning is expensive, especially if you're starting super far behind the competition.
But just looking at her Senate voting history is enough to know she would have not been a bad president.
The primaries are run by the DNC, you silly goose!
Lol no thanks!
