    Nobody showed up because the DNC wanted it that way. It’s standard operating procedure to blindly stand behind the incumbent because statistically incumbent has a higher chance to win.

    It’s the safe option, so the DNC put their weight behind Biden.

    If DNC actually wanted an open primary with all sorts of people trying to win, we could have done that. But we didn’t.

    Now it’s becoming obvious Biden has no chances of winning this election because of his deteriorating mental condition. Not only that, he’s even less likely to be an effective head of state. Why are we choosing to put ul an almost-senile guy to represent the strongest country in the world?

    I think another primary is fully justified. The best course of action would have been to have a real primary in the first place. But what else are you going to do at this point?

    Biden can’t win and even if he could he shouldn’t win
