This is the same tone set by the people who whined that we were refusing to vote for Biden and oh look now Biden isn’t in the race anymore because we refused to accept him.

Keep accepting the one candidate that they spoon in front of us without asking if we actually want that one

This is the same tone set by the people who whined that we were refusing to vote for Gore and oh look Nader didn't win Bush did.

Gore won the vote. The election was stolen by the supreme court and Roger Stone it was not the fault of a 3rd party at all if the law had been followed gore would have been given Florida https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Brothers_riot

It's a little different because people complained, Pelosi (aka the party listened) acted.

I our current political system, the game theory just doesn't work for much besides a two party system.

Biden being forced out is a great example.

Democrats will only appeal to people not voting for them already. People showing them they won't vote for Genocide you already changes policy.

When the pressure gets too high Democrats will cave. If they want your vote make them work for it never let them fearmonger you into giving it for free. Jill Stein 2024 baby.

Those same morons didn't vote in the primary to oust him.

What primary? No alternative was offered, no debates happened.
