I think there’s a little bit of hero worship. Seeing Bartlet struggle over impossible decisions, coming to the least bad solution, often failing but always trying, that’s how they imagine Biden behind the scenes. Or Obama, or even Clinton. They picture a room of impossibly competent and ideologically diverse paragons of civic duty respectfully debating the decisions of the day.
So when Biden does something horrible, they can rationalize that the alternative must have been worse.
The real delusion is that they are picking a candidate at all. The game is rigged, and the money picks the candidates.

Hmmm. You mean the candidate who has received the most aipac money than any other US politician in history?
Let’s, see……
I mean, I’m sure they’re getting their money’s worth, but it’s still better than Trump selling Goya shit from the resolute desk. Vote for Biden, and when Trump’s in jail we can talk about what to do about corruption.

Maybe the DNC policies for their primaries need to be changed. Like maybe they shouldn’t be able to over rule the primaries like they did with Burnie or be able to decide that there will be no primaries like they did this year.
If we want better candidates there is only one way to get that: convince more Americans to support better candidates so that they win more primaries.

We did have primaries. Remember “write-in uncommitted”? Those were primaries. That could’ve been “write-in someone else”.
I think it’s closer to the show The 100 😆
I lived in DC for seven years. I didn’t work on the hill, but several of my friends and roommates did. I remember one of them saying working in the government was much more like Veep than The West Wing.
