    I don’t know where you’ve been but I’ve been bitching about this for the past six months. I absolutely loathe the fact that we don’t have a real primary when we have an incumbent president and I was really disappointed when Biden changed his tune from being a one term president. I also really appreciate what Biden did do in office even though I thought he’d be an awful president during the last election!

    Thanks for making so many assumptions about me though, I’ll be sure to mulch my garden with all these strawmen you set up.

    Oh and you better fucking vote, don’t even think about sitting out the election - it’s cowardly and immature!

      i stand corrected. however, “dems stole your primary” is already a favorite of republicans, not to affect meaningful change, but to make people vote for anything except D. so sorry to say, you’re in for more of that

        No worries. I know it’s easy to generalize about other people on the internet and, if you spent much time on Reddit, you’ve been exposed to a lot of bad faith arguments and sadistic (instead of for the lulz) trolling.

        It took me a bit when I first came to lemmy to realize that most people here (even ones I often strongly disagree with like anticolonist) are consistent in their view points and usually trying to have a discussion in good(ish) faith.

        Have a nice day!
