    And this is exactly what’s wrong with the Democrats, and why Biden never should’ve run. They’re too comfortable in their big houses with all their money and privilege. They have no fucking idea what it’s like for most Americans, and clearly they don’t care because they’ve never had to. There is no party in the US to fight for regular people, so they didn’t vote.

      Biden was there to beat Bernie.

      There is no party in the US to fight for regular people, so they didn’t vote.

      Greens are still here! I think we got 600,000 votes this year.

        Fuck the Green party. Jill Stein crawls out of its crypt every 4 years to spend russia’s money and steal progressive votes away from the Democratic candidate.

      They are shit but they cant be alarmist reactionaries either. They need change but trying to encourage stability and console people isnt the worst

          The Democrats had 4 years to do something about it and didn’t. “Vote for us or else” is not a long term strategy, all it takes is losing one or two elections.
