    Man, if only the Dem candidate who spent the whole last primary telling voters he can negotiate with Republicans had won.

    Oh…

    He did, it’s just as soon as he won he said there’s no way he could change even a democrats vote

    At least we’re not running him again since the main reason he said he’d be the best candidate turned out to be horse shit…

      All I hear is complaining without any alternative candidate being proposed. You going to vote RFK? And you think he’ll be better than Biden? Real life involves making decisions between 2 imperfect things. Biden is far from perfect but he is still the best candidate who is willing to actually run.

        Normally that’s thru our primary system…

        Unfortunately this year the DNC pulled an entire states primary delegates for something controlled by the Republicans who control the states laws.

        But even if they let the primaries happen, running against Biden is essentially career suicide

        It’s not even a decade sense the DNC was openly blacklisting anyone that worked on a primary campaign against an incumbent.

        Stop pretending a single private party with zero accountability is enough of an option against Republicans

      The one Republican House leader that got in on the 15th try, ended up negotiating with Biden, but got kicked out. The current House of Representatives majority is intent on not doing anything meaningful, and that’s part of the MAGA election strategy somehow.
