The DNC and the American people are once again to blame for the rise of fascism in their own country. They knew Biden was too old to run again, they knew he's senile, they didn't try and find another candidate, didn't rally behind one, didn't bother to vote for anybody younger.
You couldn't even be bothered to check. There were 2 other democratic candidates. And there are independent candidates.
So yeah, voters have options, they just don't want to use them.
A bunch of nobodies ran against biden, no serious contenders.
What made them "not serious"? Did they have shit opinions? Did they forget their lines? Or was it just that they weren't popular enough?
I bet you it's the latter. Well who makes people popular? We fucking do. We share their shit on social media. We talk about them on forums, with family, friends, and strangers. We buy their merch and plaster it all over the place. But because the US population was told "Biden's your only chance", they rallied behind him.
Not behind some independent with values, with new proposals, with credentials, with opinions of this age, with the ability to stay awake during a debate. No. The citizens of the USA got behind some old fart they were told to.
