    if we got ranked choice I could for once in my fucking life not vote for simply the lesser evil, but who I actually want.

    To be honest, this is why democrats have never had any serious effort to switch. As the “lesser” evil, they still benefit from the duopoly as much as the republicans do.

    That is a higher priority on my list than anything else.

    Same. I put Biden’s chances as extremely not-good. The reality is, Biden won only by the barest of margins. Like. Statistically not-at-all margins. National polls don’t matter. Neither do local polls, for that matter.

    He barely won last time and he’s losing votes like a seed spreader.

    Of your goal is to beat Trump… you need to take an honest look at Biden.

    I don’t know what will happen, though. My guess is that if Biden bows out, which is the only way i see dems winning, the. It’ll be Harris, or some moderate white guy. Unfortunately, I don’t see Biden bowing out because he actually thinks he can win.

      Thats what sucks about it. We almost need some show stopper to take the limelight. We dont have one. At this rate, I’m not worrying what the DNC does, or who the nominee is. My focus is switching to getting registered democrats to the booths with plans. Take about it, have them verbally say what they will do, and repeat. We have the numbers. We just need the turnout to beat the Republican turnout and they’re comin’ in hot off the heals of their own mythology.
