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.

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.

I knew I was talking to a boomer.

Millennial.

You don't want to be called a boomer, don't make boomer arguments. "Everyone who disagrees with me must be younger than me and is therefore wrong" is the boomeriest shit ever.

No, not younger. A child. Boomers can act like children as much as you are.

VOTE!!!!

Boomers can act like children

You certainly do.

VOTE!!!

Already am. I'm glad that Biden dropped out.

I am also glad that Biden dropped out. I’m not a huge Harris fan, but I like her more than Biden.

I'm not huge on Harris either, but I am very much invested in seeing a Democratic Party that listens to its membership, and I'm not going to badmouth them for doing what I want them to.
