    Technically we get to press the button twice because there’s primaries (and, to a lesser degree, caucuses), but people need to be engaged in the process a lot earlier than the September/October/November period in which most people actually are paying attention.

        Stop focusing so much on the president. There are other positions in the party, ones who influence how our elections are handled, who are actually more important in the long run.

          Why can’t we just have a good candidate?

              Because Brandon is the worst and the DNC doesn’t care if they win

                Right, because he’s the only reason reality isn’t all perfect sunshine and rainbows.

                My point is that nothing’s perfect. You often have to settle for what’s real.

                Plus, there’s at least one person I can think of that’s worse than Brandon. Do you need a hint?

                  Why can’t the DNC run a better candidate?

                  Sure vote for the 81 year old husk but why defend him? If trump wins its his fault for running such a miserable option for the “not trump” side

                  If trump is really so bad that we cannot let him get elected, why not just run an easy win with a competent nobody candidate with Brandon’s moderate nothing platform

                    Why can’t the DNC run a better candidate?

                    What other candidate has won a presidency already?

                    And why can’t the GOP run a better candidate? One who’s younger and isn’t a convicted felon?

                    Sure vote for the 81 year old husk but why defend him?

                    There’s a difference between defending him and disputing you. If he was anyone else and you were still saying the same argument, I’d still be disputing your point.

                    If trump wins its his fault for running such a miserable option for the “not trump” side

                    No, this is equivalent to victim blaming. If Trump wins, it’s because of Trump and the people who voted for him.

                    If trump is really so bad that we cannot let him get elected, why not just run an easy win with a competent nobody candidate with Brandon’s moderate nothing platform

                    And this is the part that lets me know you’re acting in bad faith. I wouldn’t expect another reply from me if I were you. Have fun under that bridge.
