      again, I don’t even like biden. don’t worry, I’ll stay politically engaged; I just won’t be wasting my time at a voting booth.

        Cool. So what you’re saying is you are perfectly ok with Trump being president, just so long as you don’t have to vote for Biden. That is the reality we are staring down the barrel of. You might not like having to vote for him, but if there are not enough votes under the Biden column then we will have a second term of Donald Trump. Keep what-ifing and patting yourself on the back.

          I’m saying biden is threatening me with a trump presidency by not stepping down. I’m not okay with that.

          I thought this was a jokefour years ago,but you people really are just as bad.

          when your only point of favor is ‘they’re worse’ you can’t really avoid the comparison.

            You. Do. Not. Get. To. Choose. Who. Runs. For. President.

            Rather than accepting that reality, you’re choosing to sit and watch as a Trump presidency happens and say “Whelp. My hands are tied” rather than do your part in voting in the far superior option.

            Sounds like you’ve made a compelling argument as to why what you’re demanding isn’t a real option, so you’ll need a better excuse as to why you’re refusing the only rational option you have.

              he’s why it wouldn’t be an option. the rational option is ignoring your bullshit elections in favor of direct action, the emotional reaction is voting for the red team out of spite.

          Are you talking about 2024? Because no there wasn’t. No party in the US holds more than a pro forma vote for presidential nominee if they have an incumbent running. Primaries in such years are specifically for lower offices. A President hasn’t been primaried in the US since Johnson declined to run again after getting beat horribly in polling and the New Hampshire primary.

            Oh, got em on the technicality!

            The OP you’re replying to was clearly highlighting that Warren isn’t a candidate for President, but because you caught that it was a lack of nomination rather than a lack of primary campaign that totally invalidates their point!
