There is literally no other reasonable option than Biden, thanks to FPTP. Voting for Trump is voting for a fascist, every other "option" is throwing your vote away.

Biden is not a reasonable option. Biden is merely the least horrifically unreasonable. The Democratic Party's ambitions extend no further and never will.

They used to, and they can again. A party is not a person or even a group of people. Let that silly anthropomorphism go. A party is a tool, a lever of power. Don't like the people who control it? Great! Neither do I. Let's take it from them.

Ask Jessica Cisneros what happens when you try.

The party fights progressives and capitulates to Republicans.

The people who control the party fight progressives and capitulate to Republicans. Of course the people who control the party are going to fight us to keep control of it. It remains the only viable tool to win in general elections. Blaming "the party" is like being on a losing football team and blaming the ball.

"The party" is shorthand for those who control it.

Well, you sir are a free thinker. Claim your prize in the ruins of democracy.

Ahh, yes, isee. You're just as delusional as my mother.
