Agree with most of what you're saying except

see them doggedly defend Biden for stiffing college debtors

Biden did more for college debtors than any president, ever. Did he entirely eliminate college debt? No. No one who was critically thinking actually thought that was going to happen, because what was probably going to happen was what ended up happening. A bunch of roadblocks got thrown in his way, including the Supreme Court. But he still eliminated many millions of dollars in college debt for a lot of people.

There's no doubt that the Democratic party is not particularly great at running campaigns. But that doesn't absolve the American populace from their duty to be reasonably informed. The Democratic party can run a dogshit campaign and people who are reasonably informed can still look at the hard data and see which party is a better bet for the economy and average Americans.

And to be clear, in a sane world, they did run a better campaign than the Republicans who ran on hate, fear, and absolute ridiculousness. IMMIGRANTS ARE EATING PEOPLE'S PETS IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.

That shit worked because Americans are pretty goddamn stupid. That's not the Democrat's fault, especially since they actually vote in favor of our educational system instead of trying to privatize it, like Republicans. The brunt of this shitshow we find ourselves in falls squarely on American voters and their lack of education/morals.

Never.

Why?

Because no 3rd party has done the necessary work to become a nationally viable party. No 3rd party will be viable until they start investing in candidates in local/state elections.

There is no cheat code to make a 3rd party candidate president. 3rd parties have to start winning local/state offices, then get representatives in the House, then the Senate, before even having the possibility of running a candidate that can win a presidential election.

Anyone voting 3rd party for president is extraordinarily ignorant and assisting in the decline of this nation on the fastest timeline possible.

Because it's "their team."

I truly wish there was more to it.

I wouldn't say he got crushed. But you're not wrong. Despite people being wrong down voting you for saying that he lost the popular vote. He 100% did. I can say that as someone who voted for sanders. Unfortunately a lot of Sanders voters can't.

A lot of the Democrats primary rules weren't very democratic. But Sanders knew what they were going in. And Democrats didn't break the rules. And despite losing, Sanders got shit done and helped make the rules more democratic for the future.

If Biden was getting more votes, why did the democratic party collude to make all the other candidates drop and put their support behind Biden while funding a super PAC to keep Warren in the race to split votes with Bernie right before the critical point of super tuesday? They also had their buddies in big media play the narrative of "the Biden miracle" where he edged ahead in South Carolina thanks to a single critical endorsement by Clyburn but was doing poorly before then. For this favor, the democrats moved South Carolina up in the primaries in 2024, even though South Carolina went to Trump in both 2020 and 2024 for the general election.

The democratic party felt so threatened by Bernie that they put their thumb on the scale during their own party primary which is already biased towards party-favored "moderate" candidates since people more in line with the party are more likely to vote in them.

I wouldn’t say that at all. It’s hard to tell because of trumps make up but Biden looks like absolute dog shit. His final months in office he looked like a strong wind will blow him over and break both of his legs.

Both men look their age but Biden was clearly the older of the two and had no business running for a second term. Whether he was healthier or not is irrelevant.

If you think conservatives actually cared about Biden's age, you are sorely mistaken. The proof being they elected an extremely sundowning dipshit that's basically the same age but aging way worse.

Was just another tactic to get dipshit independent (and some Democrat) voters to shy away from Biden. And it worked, because Americans are dumb.

Imagine being the pro genocide candidate (Trump) and your opponents voter base (Harris) votes for you to stop the genocide 🤡 /s

Edit: edited because I guess the joke wasn’t clear. Cheeto man bad.

There's also the implication that Blue does have a line, somewhere. Probably related to polling numbers.

Leftists don't let Nazis get into power, even if it means dealing with corporatists some more years.

You're not a leftist. You did nothing to avoid the farthest of the right-wing from gaining possibly absolute power. You did nothing to keep things leftward, or even center right - you just allowed the fascists to take over without a struggle.

You're not the resistance, you're not a helper, you're not leftist; you're nothing.

precisely what those left wing voters explicitly and repeatedly warned the centrist dems they would do

So, like, they told us they were going to be stupid?

What do you do with people straight up telling you they're going to be stupid?
