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.
