“Behind the scenes, people at the Biden campaign and DNC are working to put in the fix,” warned one Biden delegate from Maryland.

    The candidates other than Biden weren’t on around half the ballots, so please tell me how it was fair?

      Did you see the other candidates? Did you want Dean Phillips? Or Jason Palmer? I’m kind of confused who this shunted star was.

        You act like the primaries were meaningful.

        They weren’t.

        They were suppressed to keep actual candidates out. They were a nod to pro-forma bullshit because “legally” they had to. Which is why uncommitted was as successful a rebuke as it was.

        You should probably take all those uncommitted votes as a warning. They’re people who voted against genocide… and many won’t vote for Biden in the general.

        Is it stupid? Sure. Is Trump worse? Absolutely. Doesn’t mean Biden has much more of a chance than a snowball in Hell, Norway.
