    The time for that vote is in the primaries. THAT’S when you make your stand, have your protest, and try to move the party left. Otherwise you are ignoring someone that you agree with 50% of the time and helping someone you agree with 0% of the time.

      Who’s our primary choice against Biden? Remember when the DnC fucked Bernie?

      The choice between a soft R vs a hard R is hardly a choice.

        The DNC didn’t “fuck over” Bernie. He lost. I voted for him in the primary, and would have loved to see him win the nomination. But he didn’t, so I voted for the next best thing (and, you know, the non-fascist).

      Move the party left? Unless you have the ability to own our own politicians, there is no ‘move the party left’
