    Biden needs to be primaried.

    The democratic party keeps making the mistake of picking a winner early.

      It’s too late. None of the state parties have any of the setup done for a primary. Once an incumbent president (of either party) declares they’re running again their party automatically backs them. I just feel lucky we have incumbent primaries for Congress.

        I mean, I’m voting for West. Democrats only hold power if we say they do. Just don’t vote for Democrats ever again. The only control we have is over ourselves let’s exercise it

          If there’s a chance then sure. But I’m not exactly going to stick a fork in my eye just to spite the Democrats.

            Voting for Democrats will only exacerbate our problems. Democrats have never made societies problems meaningfully better, at least in the modern era. Its not spiting them, it’s not signing off on the thing we all know will definitely happen. Voting for Biden will make things worse. Voting for West might possibly make things better. The choice is obvious.

              If West has a chance sure. If not then we’re just denying votes to the contest between Status Quo man and Fascist man.
