“Behind the scenes, people at the Biden campaign and DNC are working to put in the fix,” warned one Biden delegate from Maryland.
It’s not “ramming through Biden”. He won the nomination fair and square. And he’s beating Trump in the 538 model as of right now.
So thanks for your input, Token Boomer. I think the stories about “fury” are overblown.
So. How was it fair? He was the only candidate to be on all the ballots. The next closest was maybe half the ballots.
Like no. They didn’t do a primary. Saying they did a primary… is like saying Fyre was a festival.
If they do not allow the delegates to vote at the convention, it is ramming through. It is denying the delegates the right to vote. Is this the democracy we’re supposed to be saving?
YSK 538 changed considerably a little over a year ago. Nate Silver left, and took his models with him.
The new 538 is run by someone with highly questionable models and methods.
Silver has Trump up by 2, but form your own opinion about who is winning. Apparently polls don’t matter.
This shit is so dumb. Wanna run Uncommitted? Thats who was the runner up. Then they bitch the primaries weren’t fair or some shit.
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.
I didn’t write this article to deprive you of this outrage, I wrote it to tell you what is going on in the beltway. /s
I guess it’s not surprising that you cherry-picked the “national polls” and not the election forecast. After all, it’s the election that matters.
It’s almost like you’re trying to skew opinion with bullshit.
Nearly all of the swing state polls also show Biden losing. But liberals thought they knew better in 2020 by trying to shout down leftists telling him what type of mess they’re creating by voting for Biden.
And like before, they’re telling us to shut up and vote for the guy that created most of the mess that we’re currently in. If there’s a law that’s specifically targets marginalized communities which include the working class, it has Biden’s fingerprints on it and in all likelihood he wrote it
I’m sorry if this post cost Biden the election, I should’ve considered the ramifications. I may never recover. /s
You’re writing this drivel?
Do I not look like a Jake Johnson?
