Biden would never have achieved his lifelong dream of being president without Hillary...
And these backroom "favors" and focus on personal legacy over what's best for the country is how Republicans keep winning.
I can't fucking wait for the DNC chair election and hopefully seeing an end to this bullshit the party's wasted decades on.
It's just not what voters want. We want people who's highest priority is what's best for the country. If neither side legitimately reflects that, republican voters are more easily fooled than Dem voters, so they'll win those elections most of the time.
The bar can't be "slightly better than trump" because Dem voters have higher standards.
That's only a bad thing when the DNC shoves a candidate below our standards down our throats and says there's no other choice.
All it takes is a DNC chair who will encourage fair and open primaries
I’m starting to think the dems don’t really care if we vote for them or not.
So long as they keep getting those corporate dollars, why should they care who gets elected.
Yup. I’m pretty sure I’m done being a “democrat”, whatever that means now. The party sucks.
I quit years ago. I even thought about being a Republican, but fuck that too.
Open primaries allow republicans to decide the DNC candidate…
Utter nonsense
Closed primaries allow the republicans to run a felon and win the presidency
How so?
It literally just happened.
How is the DNC closed primaries responsible for the GOP running Trump?
What?
No, the DNC not allowing a competitive open primary lead to an incredibly weak candidate (biden) who could not effectively beat an opponent with 34 felony convictions (trump).
Who else is going to beat Trump? Progressives/leftists aren’t winning elections.
Not with the DNC putting their thumb on the scale, as they have
The GOP are gonna try a a lot harder than the DNC to stop progressives/leftists.
If progressives/leftists can’t get enough of a following to overcome a “thumb on the scale” then how are they gonna beat the GOP?
