    Because the people still voted brother. The people made a choice with their votes. They chose between Biden and Bernie and they chose Biden. Nobody changed their votes. You can argue that Biden wouldn’t have won if the others have remained in, but it was a straight up vote.

      I think they’re talking about this round. The Democratic primary meant nothing because Biden isn’t running anymore suddenly and they’re the one picking the candidate.

      It’s still obviously a better choice than Trump by far, but there’s no way the DNC didn’t know Biden’s condition for this long. This was pure politics, manipulation, and undemocratic. There wasn’t a choice on who the candidate is, only which pre-selected candidate you don’t want to be president.

      Very underhanded of a tactic, but undeniably an effective one, despite everything, I can acknowledge that at least.

      If she at least picks AOC as vice president, I’ll actually go through the hassle of voting from abroad again, since I don’t live there anymore.
