    That’s not going to stop trump.

    What will stop trump is running a good candidate.

    But Biden and the people he appointed to run the DNC would rather trump win than Biden step aside for the good of the country

      You are missing the point…

      Neither side is a good choice. No matter who they run. Deny theme electoral legitimacy

        Politics is not a zero sum game. You don’t vote for the good choice. You vote for the less bad choice.

        Biden and the people he appointed to head the DNC don’t have to be the people running the DNC…

        We can replace them and have a functional leftwing party again.

        It’s not quick, and it’s not painless, but it’s possible.

          We already wasted a generation on this circle jerk… If not two tbh

          Why would I ever play their games again?

          Protest vote until third party candidate arrives to capture us or I die in this clown dystopia as is and hope next generation can do better.

          I don’t see any other option here. An

            Depending on where you live a protest vote is perfect. If you live in a swing state, you should vote for Biden or Trump. If you live in a solid state like California, voting third party won’t hurt either candidates chances.

              There is thus assumption I care about “hurting” either one…

              I am trying to hurt BOTH

              Deny their legitimacy

                Oh yes, the “cutting off your nose to spite your face” strategy, well known for its effectiveness.
