minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·2 months ago Here’s the bad news - the primary is over It’s not tho. The convention is the end of the primary. Biden appointed Jamie Harrison to the head of the DNC. And Jamie Harrison set the convention for mid August. If you don’t like it, go complain to them. But they picked when the primary was over.

minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·2 months agoSo… You don’t think it’s possible the DNC or Biden does the right thing to maximize our chances of beating trump? The primary isn’t a real election. The DNC can just nominate someone else, they’ve been very open about it And Biden can obviously just step aside. Do you think they don’t care if trump wins? Or that they’d just rather that happen then a Dem candidate Dem voters want winning?

It’s not tho.
The convention is the end of the primary.
