      Yes, I do think that. There will be chaos, infighting and accusations of anti-democratic behavior.

      Which might be moot, given the events yesterday.

          Because the primaries are over. The rest is polling which is a private exercise, not even a semblance of oversight. The democrats had a chance to speak and they spoke 90% in favor of Biden. There is no do-overs in the process.

          Take a look at the UK and post-brexit remorse. Sucks, but once you vote you accept the consequences.

              The will of the people has been heard in the democratic process. The people chose Biden when it was time to choose. If the will of the people doesn’t matter to you (or whatever CNN says about the last poll is more important than election results) I can’t think of a more worthless way to view politics…

                  I’d like universal basic income and a green new deal too, but none of those is going to happen.

                  Those primaries that took place, Biden won 90% on average. If no one else ran, that’s on America, it’s a clear way to make a decision, and it’s just as binding.

                  “no genocide” is not on the menu. We’ve been protesting in Europe against America’s continuous genocides for decades. You have dnc genocide or rnc genocide. If you reject dnc genocide you made your choice.
