What do you think would be better?

Considering in our political system a 3rd party doesn't have a chance, and the Democratic party is refusing to hold a primary...

What other option is there besides endorsing Biden?

Endorse someone else and cause the democraric vote to be split and ensuring a fascist victory. I mean that's kinda what happened in Weimar Republic with the Communist Party refusing to work with the Social Democrats.

It’s a fair question asked in a dark time for our nation.

I guess my answer would be: do anything but fall in line with corporate Dems. Publicly demanding a primary since Biden reneged on yet another campaign promise of being 1 term would be a good start.

  1. That would be used to poison voters against progressives for decades.

  2. If you think that has a chance in hell of doing anything besides helping trump... It actually explains you're first comment, I understand why you think that's a good idea. You're wrong of course tho

I refuse corporate rule, and will never accept neoliberal corporate domination. I think to call oneself a progressive, you’d have to agree.

Democrats living in constant fear of republicans yelling at them is honestly the most pathetic excuse imaginable for their inaction, and yet, here we are.

Correction: Democrats (and other left-leaning folk) don't live in constant fear of Republicans yelling at us, we live in constant fear of Republicans killing us.

When the stakes are that high, there's no room to fuck around.
