Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

"I didn't hear anyone calling for other candidates."

That was a response I got from a guy when I brought up the botched primary all thanks to Biden's hubris.

Like, no shit Sherlock, we couldn't call for anyone else, there was no time!

My ballot had two choices: Biden and uncommitted. I voted uncommitted.

A primary with one name on the ballot is not a primary.

Biden left his run so late they just appointed someone else and "that'll do!"

And then called us naive idealists for wanting... Checks notes democracy when the democracy is at stake.
