    That’s absolutely not true. I was angry not to have a choice from the start.

    Then, due to some bullshit rules, there wasn’t even an open candidacy vote at the convention.

    Get mad and indignant all you want, but we had no choice this election. It was Biden or Harris. Nothing else was close to viable.

      We had a primary where nobody of consequence looked to challenge Biden, so he won easily. Then people started crying that he was terrible for weeks on end until he stepped down and endorsed his running mate and current VP. Nobody stood up to throw any notable challenge then either so she ran. Now people are bitching that she was wrong.

      If no viable candidate that anyone has heard of outside some nich internet chatroom stands up to run then either do so yourself or quit complaining. It’s not that complicated, if you found the absolutely perfect candidate, but nobody has a clue who they are then shouting about how great they are compared to the nominee just makes you look like a loon rather than some great savior of the party.
