      I mean, she’s right and wrong at the same time.

      People shouldn’t have to get over it, but Democrats don’t give a shit what voters want. They are using Trump as the big bad monster to force the candidates that they want, not the ones that the people want or deserve.

      Biden would likely lose against any other candidate, the only reason he might win is because Trump is so terrible. They’re exploiting their voters to get what they want.

        Well, voters are not completely blameless. Democrats need to get their act together and build a compelling, non geriatric candidate who moves at least a bit further left of contemporary democrats. I understand it’s massively challenging to run a presidential candidate that is “too progressive”, but there’s room to move, and voters crave it.

        The problem is they aren’t demonstrating it enough.

        Magats are rabidly gobbling up every low and unheard of post, elected or not, frequently and loudly demonstrating their wishes. These are data points planners use to shape larger candidates.

        Tldr: wake the fuck up democrats.
