  • Biden never should have run a second time at all. His running scared away any other candates. If he clearly said he wouldn’t run for a second term, they could’ve had a full open primary with a dozen candates or more.

    As it was, they did everything they could to discourage a real, full primary process.

    Even after he was forced out, he could’ve not handed he’s entire campaign war chest and staff to Harris. And instead had a contested convention where candates lobbied attendees for their votes. Like used be done a century ago. Then given all his campaign resources to that nominee.










  • I think you mean progressives.

    The issue there, is not having a progressive party to vote for.

    The Democrats have been nearly as as tied to Neoliberal Capitalism as the Republicans. They only done the bare minimum to court progressives, so as to not upset the big donating ownership class.

    But perhapse if they loose enough, they might catch on and start to embrace economic-populism.

    I voted for them. But I can’t blame people who don’t. We’ve been ignored for decades now.
