Americans asked to describe the Democrat in the White House and the Republican best positioned to face him in next year’s election say President Joe Biden is “old” and “confused” and say former President Donald Trump is “corrupt” and “dishonest.”
“better than Trump” is still light-years ahead of “we split the vote with a really ideal 3rd party candidate and allowed Trump to win”. We can dump Biden in the primaries, but splitting the vote is not our best option unless we can pull from the Republican base.
Our only choice is in the primaries, and that’s not much of a choice after the Dem party used “fuck the voters we’re a private group and can do what we want” as a legal defense a couple years ago when they were accused of bias in the primary.
It’s an illusion of choice. No matter who gets elected, the rich win and everyone else loses.
Like if someone gives you the choice of watching your house burn down from across the street or from inside while it burns.
One choice is obviously better, but that doesn’t mean either is a good result.

No shit, that’s what we’re complaining about…
