    Who is “we”?

    What is a “popular candidate”?

    There were actually elections, you know.

    Biden isn’t exactly my cup of tea but he’s more or less reasonable on the national field. And people should understand when you elect a president (despite what Trump would tell you), you are actually electing an administration, a structure of workforce based on certain values. As long as something crazy doesn’t happen that puts the speaker up there, for the most part it’s those ideas that are winning the elections.

      In less than half the states…

      The primary is performative, the DNC has been openly admitting they’re not interested in fair primaries go like a decade now, even openly saying if they don’t get the results they want, they’ll ignore results.

      You might not have realized it yet, but you personally don’t need to understand something for it to be true

        Literally one of the shittiest ways to talk to a person and ensure they won’t take you seriously.
