    Because your phrasing is disingenuous. You imply nefariousness where none exists. He ran thinking he was the best choice, until he flubbed the debate, and … get this…he got the majority of delegates. 14 million people voted for him. And he won the Primary. Are you saying you and your ilk are more important than the 14.5 million people who cast their ballots for him (you couldn’t manage 2 million votes between your three alternatives to Biden…), and the 3.9k delegates he won? That their expressions of preference should be thrown out so you can have a bruising 4 week primary in August while Trump just uses your various attacks against each of the candidates and racks up hundreds of millions of campaign contributions that he doesn’t have to spend until September? And at best, we just use up Biden’s campaign warchest trying to fend your candidates off, and at worst, we have to start over with some relative unknown with a depleted warchest, and no access to the Biden/Harris warchest? And go through the whole rigamarole of qualifying for state ballots so close to election day? Not to mention the extra costs of running a second set of primaries because you couldn’t accept the fact that you lost?

    We had a primary. Biden won that primary. There’s no nefarious plan to install Harris. And the only reason that Harris has to run at all is because you lot showed up here and shat all over Biden over and over and over and over and *four hours later * over again. You lot being sore loser hard-leftists, Greenies pissed that they don’t have more of a say in government, paid actors and disinformation peddlers hired by Republicans and Russians to fragment the Left coalition like has happened time and time again (stupid ‘fall in love’ party), and of course those same Russians and Republicans who directly inject BS into our political discussion. And just to be clear, I’m not speculating on which you are, just pointing out that’s what your coalition is, and that’s why we’re here where we are right now.

      I’m just using the language our press uses for enemy nations, like calling it the Biden regime, because it’s what I do when warmongers are president, it’s what I did for Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump and here we are now.

      casual xenophobia

      Like I’ll cop to being Russian but you need to understand it’s getting really insulting how often liberals go on about ‘the Russians’ like we’re some hive mind

      You know the cold war is over, you guys won, plenty of Russians left when the economy went to shit and in the end Putin is the result of your foreign policy goals. I have a deep hatred for both, because of how they have impacted me personally, and it really makes me resent when people act like anyone naysaying the current regime is just doing it because they’re Russian and hypnotized by Putin.

        Dear reader, just to be clear what this poster is trying to hide in its quote. It doesn’t try to refute a single word of this. No. It goes off on a tangent about how mean liberals are calling out the Russian involvement in propping up the Fascist Dictator Wannabe while tearing down Team Blue for the lulz. Despite the fact that I called out everyone in this faction trying to tear down the Left and prop up the Right, including the hard-core “Dems aren’t left enough” leftists, the Greenies that only seem to pop out during the Presidential Elections to tear down the Left and give the Right a chance to steel it, useful idiots who don’t realise they are being played, and the bad actors who really DO want a Single-Party Republican Dictatorship with elements taken from Handmaiden’s Tale, 1984, and Hunger Games for good measure. Rather than engage or refute any of these truths, it gets all butthurt about how we distrust Russians when really, all we distrust are the Russian government, who has repeatedly put their thumb on the scale for the Authoritarian Conservatives of our country.

              Your response is to misgender me, because you’re mad that I’m pointing out you’re just like republicans.

              Just incredible, no notes

              I’d post my estradiol bottle but I don’t need to prove anything to someone like you

                I’m misgendering this poster because it insists that I am just like Republicans. Which is a fucking lie. And another violation of Rule 3. Is the poster can’t take it, don’t dish it. And maybe stop using its transgenderness as a cover for its incivility!

                I’ll let it have the last word now.

                  You are misgendering me, to prove you’re not like republicans. … who would also misgender me.

                  You reported me to the mods for making a joke hypothetical about how if (not making accusations) you soil your pants you would find a way to blame leftists.

                  Whatever issues you have with your father maybe you should try projecting them online less.
