Biden could have decided not to run at any point. Many people were calling for him not to run and he didn't suddenly become an 80 year old.

Biden waited until after the primaries to step down. I'm glad he's gone, but "she was the only choice" because of Biden's choice.

You can't tell progressives "Vote in the primaries!" when you don't even hold primaries.

That looks so much like a scam. Granted, the line is paper thin.

more of the people bitching about the ultimate candidate actually voted in the primaries

I want to push back on this. "The people bitching" were probably out knocking doors for their candidate with me. It's just one more insult that moderates use. We don't have the massive get out the vote machine that the establishment does, but my guess is that the most vocal people are pretty active.

they may have made a difference

"May" is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting here.

The DNC is a private entity able to pick it's candidate however it deems fit. The primaries are like a basketball game where the refs are wearing the other team's uniforms.

Yeah, that's about what I'm thinking. A manned mission to Mars could be an interesting project for our kids or grandkids. Anyone talking about it in our lifetimes is just a grifter.

There's one party that pretends to support it publicly as long as they can blame the Republicans for "blocking it".

Ftfy. This is the Democrats go to game plan.

It is insulting to pretend Democrats support ranked choice voting while they're suing to keep it off of the ballot in DC.

Can you think of any realistic benefit to a manned mission to Mars?

Bringing back samples would be an amazing feat, and that seems a worthwhile mission. Having a human onboard seems to complicate things far more than any data that would give us would be worth.

Lol. Can't imagine why someone would call you transphobic for "lump in the trans with the disabled". LMAO.

I regret being so polite earlier. ✌🏾

This is what gets me the most about SovCits.

You don't like the state's monopoly on violence and don't feel like you shouldn't have to follow rules you didn't agree to? Sure, that makes sense.

But thinking there are magic words that will make the state give up it's ability to do violence and let you do whatever you want... that's just crazy.

"Not like that! We meant we should debate whether trans people should exist or not! Redistributing wealth is just evil."

A cab with no driver is just an incredibly expensive gender neutral toilet. I shudder to think what will be done in these if they ever exist.

Didn't he say full self drive was two years away at least 5 years ago?
