- Dems: The country has shown us that we are still filled with racists and misogynists. Better send in a woman of color in the most important election ever to keep a fascists out of power!

  Really. I'm glad people on Lemmy seem energized by this, but this site does not represent the US voting population.

- It is kind of nonsensical. But it (unintentionally?) highlights the deep irony that our saving grace from dictatorship is a candidate who has never received a primary vote for president. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Biden dropped out and I think we have a better chance of keeping Trump out now, but we are far from a democracy right now.

  I would also push back on having one chance. They're not going to just scrap everything if they lose. The next time a republican wins they're going for it.
