      Whitmer or whitehouse woukd be better, but the way the DNC plays things, they would obviously choose the weakest candidate for no reason other than to not seem biased against their opposition. It’s fucked. The whole thing is fucked.

        I think it’s a bit more nuanced than that. They’ll obviously choose the most neoliberal candidate they think they can get away with, and try to pass him (and it will be “him”) off as “progressive”

          If only there was some kind of formal method for identifying and vetting and selecting the party representatives, as part of - like - an election or something. I feel like if maybe we’d started back in January and had a bunch of debates between these people early on, we might be able to include ourselves in the discussion.

          Instead, I guess we’re just going to wishcast our favorite blue state governor into the White House, until the DNC Convension disabuses us of our delusions.

        No. It’s because they are getting paid by the same people to seem like they care. They don’t and I am not saying both parties are the same I’m saying the same entity controls both party’s coffers. The oligarchs.

        Not going to lie, I would probably vote for Whitehouse just so he can be Whitehouse in the White House 🤭

      That is probably the only dirtbag Democrat that could sway my vote from them to the Green party. Fuck Gavin Nuisance with a long rusty shovel.

        Are you under the impression that the green party is a reliable place to put your vote? Do you believe that this is not a complete waste of your one singular vote?

          It’s not a waste if you vote. It’s a waste if you don’t vote. Screw your head back on.

          Stop trying to shame people who want to vote differently from you. It’s not an effective way to change someone’s mind and it’s anti-democratic.

            Our voting system is undemocratic. Until that isn’t the case, I will keep trying to push people away from wasting their votes.

              What? No! But we make such a big deal about spreading democracy. Say it ain’t so!

              In all seriousness I hope this election makes the rest of the US wake up to the fact that our democracy sucks, and we can stop being a hypocrite about destroying the way of life for other countries like Cuba because we don’t like there’s.
