If you want to have your voice heard—which they do—you have to vote. Even if the options aren’t amazing, you have to help guide it in the right direction. They right wing loves it when their competition is “meh”
Well, Biden got elected so I’ll say it didn’t fail. What we need is a better voting system, and until that happens we have to understand that’s the world we live in, and work with what we’ve got.
Firstly, He wasn’t my candidate, I always supported Bernie.
Second, yes the party got him to step down, but after that happened, why do you think no one added their names to the list for consideration at the convention, and before that why did no big name Dems compete in the primary against Biden?
The answer is very simple, no Democrat wants it right now, every single big name like Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, or AOC would rather wait until 2028 or after to run, and that’s why literally every single one immediately threw their support behind Harris.
Pretty sure I just said they need to vote.
Would you like to break down your comment and point to the part where you said that?
No vote, no voice.

This election cycle has been like “no, you’re not getting a real primary, vote as your told and like it.”
Until it became so clear that it was a losing strategy that even Democrats abandoned it.
“No vote no voice” implies that voters have a voice. Until Biden stepped down, they functionally didn’t.
You may have liked him, but I’m glad we have someone who stands a chance of winning instead of the guy party leadership wants.
I didn’t like Biden.
If you say so.
I didn’t know I was talking to a child.
Did anyone else credible run in this primary or submit their names to the convention for nomination? Why do you think no one submitted their names?
And yet, we were on track to losing until the party listened to people who were upset at the shit choice we had before us.
I’m glad your shit candidate stepped down and we got a better one.
