minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·2 months agoThis 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.
