Jon Stewart’s ‘told you so’ about Biden was the scolding we needed - Lemmy.World

Stewart is basically calling for a primary, which we already had, nobody significant seemed interested in running. I voted in the primary, there was more than one person to vote for, Biden even lost his primary in American Samoa. To say there was “no primary” is a lie, and suggesting a party swap out a candidate who already won a primary, and by doing so throw out the votes of millions of Americans who participated in that primary process, is anti-democatic. Do you want people to switch parties and vote in the republican primary? Because that’s how you do it. Did the DNC learn nothing from getting caught trying to crush Bernie’s primary chances? You lose voters you disenfranchise, period. I don’t care how good the DNC’s policies are, if my primary vote literally does not matter, why would I ever vote in their primary again?

if my primary vote literally does not matter, why would I ever vote in their primary again?

Exactly. When one primary candidate won in 2016, the party nominated the other candidate. Your primary vote doesn’t matter. Then, the SCOTUS agreed with you, stating that if one don’t like how private organizations run their primaries then they shouldn’t participate in them.

Why would you ever vote in the primary again?

Are you talking about Bernie? He literally got less primary votes, thats why he lost, period. I agree the DNC tried to fuck him over, but at the end of the day he got less votes and that’s all there is to it. They implemented a number of reforms after Wikileaks exposed their corrupt practices.

It must be noted that the same people who told me that Bernie was too old in 2016 are now telling me that Biden is fine.

Also, that’s not even the thing that’s most concerning. The thing that’s most concerning is that Biden doesn’t appear to understand that if he loses, we probably also lose democracy. But that’s ok because he’ll have tried his goodest.

I dunno man. That sounds a hell of a lot like malarkey to me.

Lol, you saying Biden will have tried his goodest here cracks me up. Only the Lord Almighty can save us from Biden.
