I know people are focused on the implications for the upcoming election, but I find myself wondering "Who is running the country right now?"

I'm guessing the answer is something along the lines of "It's complicated", which should be a completely unacceptable answer for everyone.

The country is not a dictatorship. It is run by the administration the same way it was when trump went golfing.

The US is a corporate military entity masquerading as a civilian government

Seriously. Do people think the president literally keeps the country running?

Is nobody going to point out that the DNC already had a primary? And that by replacing the candidate last minute, against the will of their voters, the DNC would be acting incredibly undemocratically? Do you want your core voting block to start voting in republican primaries instead? Because throwing out their primary vote is how you get that to happen.

The DNC had a primary, there were multiple candidates, Biden lost the primary in American Samoa. I voted for Biden, he won, if the party elite swap him out last minute regardless of what their primary said, why would anybody care to vote in their primaries?
