And I suppose you like if the democratic party offers an illusion of choice amongst clones of candidates who are in the pockets of the same donors?

I think it would be better if the voters decided to gang up on Bernie and compromise with Biden over the others. Or the other candidates didn’t run at all. This way they just made a mockery of the election process.

Edit: seriously, think about it. Why are you running at all if you’re fine with some other centrist taking over eventually? Just to keep up with the illusion of choice? Stay out of the race and let people see they didn’t have a choice in the first place.

That’s literally just politics.

And see, that’s the problem people complain about. They are doing bad politics by ganging up to the candidate that’s gaining support from the people who are looking for someone different. Those people end up in Trump’s camp when the Ds can only offer more corporate elites.

Don’t forget the part where everyone dropping out endorsed Biden right after. Another funny case was Buttigieg, who was doing well after the first few primaries, even won some, but then just decided to drop out.

I can’t really say you’re wrong, since we will never know. I had the feeling that Biden was reluctant to do anything because of the incoming elections, whereas Harris might have done something. But alas, we’ll never know.

(as a side note, I feel like you’d have gotten away with both parties better here, as the “both sides” is typically just used to equate nazis with regular people and normalize/excuse their behavior - nothing wrong with hating the term)

There’s indication Netanyahu wants to seize parts of Gaza into Israel. If it comes to that, there is no way Trump is going to do anything about it (except try to extract maximal gain for himself in terms of favors etc.)

Also, this time they (Rs) are prepared.

Hate and simple answers. Trump will “fix inflation” and “bring jobs back”, what could be better? Don’t ask how or what it will cost.

No one is expecting “world to end”. It’s just going to get somewhat shittier whereas it could have gotten better or at least stayed the same. Also for some minorities it’s going to get a lot shittier.

I know it’s tempting to down vote this, but don’t shoot the messenger.

Instead, see the news as the evidence of what a piece of shit JR is. In saying that, I feel obliged to link this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EuKibmlll4
