    But what can you really do? Not voting is beneficial to the open christo fascists, and the only person who has any real world shot at winning an election, for some mind melting reason Joe Biden. The same Joe Biden, who despite his kinda actually not terrible first term, is currently funding a genocide as the wold watches. It’s a shit choice, but this problem isnt going to be fixed this cycle. It’s like punching the clock.

      Biden isn’t the only one who could win, and seems to be worse off than a generic dem in swing States, by a long shot. They’re choosing the candidate again, like they did with Hillary, from the ranks of the least popular people in the US. They’re shooting themselves and blaming the left and Muslims in MI already.

        I agree with you completely. I think the DNC is going to do what they want, and it will take time and deliberate action to change them. This cycle is going to be a Trump/Biden election. I don’t see a way around it. Here’s to 2026 and 2028 for making progress with elections. In the meantime we still have to donate and support with our time.

        I’ll be volunteering for Biden, because that’s the best cause I believe I can support during this election. Doesn’t mean I’m super pumped on him being the candidate.

      Not give into cynicism and participate in the democratic process? Democracy isn’t something that you can set and forget, it requires constant attention and participation or it breaks. We are where we’re at because the GOP and big corporations have been carefully engineering widespread burnout in a large percentage of the working class population.

        Oh for sure. I’m just saying the DNC is going to put up Biden, no matter what, so that’s our choice this round. Action can be taken for 2028, but be real… They’re not going to change horses.
