I have no faith in them be able to pass something like this. Not when this is what the Republicans have been dreaming of for the last 50 years. But I hope they keep trying.

The only one likely to lose? I think you have your facts confused on that one.
That’s neither literal nor a fact.
No it’s literally not what I said or implied. If you think Gavin Newsom is staying out of this because he’s worried about having his career torpedoed you’re nuts. I said political reasons because it’s political reasons. For his own personal political benefit. I think that should have been obvious. If Newsome wanted to run he’d be running. I doubt Biden would be in this race if Newsome was running. He would have stepped aside. If for some reason he hadn’t, the party would have pushed him aside.
Is there a word to be People’s Will pilled? Cause that’s where I’m heading.
It’s basically just depends if you stayed tuned. I mean I have perfect sympathy for someone who watched the first 15 or 20 minutes and then turn it off because you know damn. However the longer it went the worst Trump got and Biden kind of leveled out though never got impressive by any means.
No serious politician chose to participate. Either for their own political reasons (Newsome) or because they preferred Biden as a better and more strategic option (Sanders). It’s still a primary when you don’t like the choices. It’s disingenuous to claim otherwise.
I don’t see how a crowd would have helped Biden. In fact the Dems requested this since they felt Trump feeds off of crowds.
Despite what people on Lemmy are saying there was a primary. Votes were cast and delegates are obligated to vote accordingly at least on the first ballot. Short of Biden stepping down there is no avenue to replace him at the convention.
Hard disagree. This wasn’t unusual. Presidential debates are notorious for moderators being ineffectual and unwilling to challenge lies.
I just expect he’ll do whatever Papa Putin tells him to do. That or rape someone again.
Trump won’t agree to a debate with a new candidate. I doubt that there be another debate at all as is.
Yeah the problem I think with the idea they can nominate someone else at the convention are that I believe the delegates are obligated under the first ballot to vote as they were voted. So Biden’s going to win the first ballot. There’s no way not to have that happen. If there were enough other candidates that the first ballad wasn’t enough to reach the threshold then yeah they could all change their votes after. That’s just not the case because nobody ran against Joe Biden. Or nobody worth even the time it would take to spell their name properly here.
Who were you gonna vote for in your primary that wasn’t biden? I mean from the tone of your comment I’m assuming you didn’t vote in your primary at all. But if you had which one of those candidates were you planning on voting for that you didn’t because you didn’t think it mattered? Or do you even know who was on the ballot in the primaries?
They did? That’s weird I remember voting in them just like I do every 4 years.
Brother don’t lie to yourself, that was way more than a just a stutter. Nobody who watched that debate is under the impression that the problem was Joe Biden stuttered sometimes. I understand you’re disappointed and trying to cope somehow but it’s not healthy to just create a fantasy. It was a train wreck. It was real real bad. Just accept it and move on.
Thanks for setting this monkey paw off there buddy
It’s very important not to practice self-deception in these kind of things
Pretty sure after tonight my congressional representative is thrilled that Biden is the one running.
Bet
