It’s incredibly depressing we need to be energized in order to stop such an incredibly clear and obvious threat to democracy. Biden isn’t my first choice by any means but the idea that I’d have to be convinced at this point on how to vote is insane. Yes the Democrats should be doing more and messaging better. Yes we need better candidates. But the Republican party is now an existential threat, we have to avoid giving them power at all costs. That has to be priority because that’s the only way forward.
Then they need to pick a candidate who will appeal to a broader base of voters. This idea that Biden, a neoconservative only appealing because Trump is batshit crazy, is “owed” the candidacy is lunacy. If the priority is defeating Trump, then they need to select someone who can succeed with a healthy margin, not a candidate who has lost enough of his swing voters to make his victory extremely questionable.
Reality? Democrats… or at least the DNC… feel that they are “owed” those votes. Every time they lose, they blame third parties, voters who abstain, sun spots, dark sorcery… anything that will allow them to avoid introspection. It’s time they took responsibility, listened to the people who could actually win them this election.
