Imagine if the Democrats ran somebody that anybody was actually positively excited about. But that is not how the DNC works.

minus-squareMiDaBa@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up19·3 个月前No prominent Democrat would dare challenge Biden before he drops out for fear of party retaliation. The two party system is the real issue here. Until we abolish it our best hope is things don’t get worse because they won’t get better.
