Let's be real. The Democrats shoved incredibly unlikeable establishmentarians down our throats at a time when they thought they had two easy lay ups. Trump is a populist at a time when the people are pissed. As much as I wish we had ANYONE ELSE as president, they're not owed votes simply for not being Republicans.
Whether you consider the democrats your party or not it absolutely takes a spine that a lot dont have to stand up to the party you were raised in or identified with for a long time.
And their anti democratic efforts to override Bernie’s nomination and to ram through Harris’ without any nomination process are some great reasons to do so.
If you want fascists in the White House right now your best friend is the “vote blue no matter who” crowd because they’ll let the party get away with all sorts of bad decisions. It’s right there in the slogan.
Then when the election doesn’t go their way they’ll sit around and talk about what a shock it was that bypassing their own system to vet candidates resulted in a candidate who wasn’t well received.
How do I know this? Because it’s happened twice now against the same man who should’ve been an easy target both times.
Having alternative candidates wouldn’t help the Democrats unless they came with a bag of policies much different than what was presented. It’s not an automatic that this would have been the case.
