We had a vigorous primary, many interesting candidates in '19-20 (Bernie leading easily until SC, Warren backstab, pandemic). Before Super Tuesday, Democrat primary voters were told to unite around Biden, and they did. So that was... weird, but maybe I can blame pandemic.

Biden's been more progressive than I would've imagined, and is surrounded by decent people, so I'm not concerned about his ancient brain quite yet. The other option is... religious fascism, destruction of govt, civil war, T**** family dictatorship, etc. Let's go Brandon, I guess.

Yeah, I just hope he lasts the next 4 years. Meanwhile hopefully we do end up with better candidates. Bernie would have been a heck of a president. We need a Bernie that is 30 years old.

Dem primary voters are gigantic cowards and always have been.

It's rich fuckers that live in and near cities that don't see themselves as racist even though they are. They just want the status quo without feeling bad about it.

Fuck everyone who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries.
