      I mean, Jill Stein is running again. There’s also the dude from Minnesota trying to primary biden.

      It’s still a Trump vs Biden election but remember how many people voted for Gary Johnson and Jill Stein in 2016 and how much the establishment hated that? Let’s do that again!

      I used to wonder where the 2016 Clinton supporters went to…

      But rubbing people’s noses in the fact that we dont have a good option for president like your happy about it. It’s like a passenger on the Titanic laughing because the guy next to him were going to get wet.

      Y’all stand out.

        2016 Clinton supporters

        Those would be Biden supporters.

        But rubbing people’s noses in the fact that you must pick from only 2 shitty candidates and like it.

        It’s like being in the mob actively punching holes in the hull of the Titanic or the mob actively setting fires on the Titanic and laughing at the people who are trying to bail the water and throw it on the flames.

        “Doc, I’m feeling really depressed. Nothing is making me happy.”

        “Have you tried just, being happy and joyful?”

        “But I don’t know how to do that. How do I get there?”

        “Oh, so now you’re just rubbing it in that I’m an awful doctor?!”

        It’s a totally valid question to say “okay that sounds great, but how do we get there?”.

          If anyone is actually asking that:

          Elect better dem candidates in the primary while we still have primaries. Then they pass laws to get money out of politics.

          Shit ain’t complicated, so it’s hard to take anyone serious who has to ask.

            Well yeah, but that isn’t something that happens overnight. We’re not going to succeed in every primary in every year. It’s going to take like a decade. The point is, we need to still do something in the interim while we get there. We can’t just consider it hopeless and allow the worst to happen when we have the ability to make it less worse.

              1. It’s been taking hell of a lot longer than a decade already

              2. The only interm option is voting for whatever Dem is in the general.

              3. The fact that the DNC just yanked NH’s primary delegates for something only NH republicans have control of, means just blindly voting D in the general isn’t enough. They’ve argued to a judge and won that their not bound by the votes. I fear I’ll live to see it because the same billionaire assholes fund both parties.

      Bernie, AOC, Katie Porter, Ro Khanna, Rashida Tlaib.

      After they have recused themselves from the Democrat party and have declared themselves Independent.

      Those would be my choices.

        Which one if those is running for POTUS, wants the position, and can realistically win? If they can’t win, which they can’t at least this election cycle, then it is a waste and detrimental to the future of the US to vote for any of them. You don’t have to like it, but as it stands, Biden is the only option that isn’t pushing a fascist agenda.

          … the union buster architect of the genocide of the Palestinian people whose running platforms are currently “I’m not Trump” and “I take really great super-villain pictures” isn’t pushing a pure fascist agenda?

          God, those blinders must be nice to have.
