Biden added: “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”

God damn, so politically stupid to not realize that these political attacks works since he’s still defending himself from these same political attacks.

    What you describe sure lookss like the big donors for the DNC define your reality for you and you lap it up dutifully. There has to be more than that. If there isnt then we need to create it, or tear this system down.

      That is exactly what I’m advocating for. When someone says they didn’t vote because the candidates were bad, I’m going to ask if they voted in the primary, and odds are they did not. In 2022 not one state hit >40% turnout for the primaries (only 1 hit 40%), and in 2020 only 5 states were >40% (but none >45%).

      We aren’t creating it, because we aren’t participating in the process to select the nominees. I’m advocating for people to stop waiting to the DNC to and instead rise up and dictate it to them with the power of our vote (something we have not statistically done so far).
