Thanks. It seems crazy nobody is willing to acknowledge it.

I’ve been saying it too, met with about the same enthusiasm as your post.

Boo fucking hoo. “Oh, it’d be so nice to live in a world that’s not a dystopic hellscape”. YEAH WE ALL FUCKING AGREE! But you know what? That’s not the world we live in. America is divided in a 3-way split between people who want to bring back a monarchy, people who don’t want that, and people who couldn’t give a shit. Do I wish that wasn’t the case? Of fucking course I do. But, as Jayne Cobb said in “Firefly”: “If wishes were horses, we’d all be eating steak.” You can’t WISH your way into a better world. In the actual, physical world we occupy, you have extremely limited options available to you. Your options are: vote for someone you don’t particularly like, or don’t do that and therefore make it more likely that you never get to vote again.
Sorry. That’s the choice. I don’t make the rules. That’s just the way things are. Bitching about it on the internet will give you nothing.

No shit. Obviously we all understand what’s at stake. But it’s been at stake for too fucking long. Throw the bastard in prison. Fucking do something to him rather than keeping him around so there’s always a crisis situation. Fix the broken system that allowed this. There’s always an imminent threat as tyrants seize power and democracy dies, because tyrants make sure of it.

What are you talking about??? Trump literally tried to coup the government with false slate of electors!! Are you even for real here jerking yourself off about being able to pick the candidate? Are you serious???
Now???

You should probably settle down a little. Yes I know who trump is, which is why I’m willing to vote for whomever they shove in front of us. Maybe read what I wrote again.
Yes I’m serious, selecting candidates through a primary is how elections have been held in this country for decades, whenever the incumbent isn’t running. On that note, if Biden isn’t fit to run for President, then he’s probably not fit to be president either, and should step down now. That would make Harris president, and allay my concerns over a stolen primary. The DNC knew what Biden’s condition was when they insisted that he run again, and we forego a primary election cycle.
