Democratic Primaries

(1,076 posts)Plenty of candidates wrap up a nomination long before all voters get to see a ballot. Until 2008, I saw neither hide nor hair of a primary candidate in my state during my adult life because, in previous races, the nominee had already been decided by then, so why bother? We voted, but that was because we had down-ticket races to deal with. Our votes didn't change anything about who the nomination became. Because it was already decided, long ago.
We in the tail end states put on our big kid pants and got over it when the nominee became clear before we got to vote. We didn't stamp our feet and demand to get to see all of the candidates, just because the voters decided early on who they wanted. That's because we were adults, not whiny-ass titty babies wanting their wishful thinking coddled.
Why do you demand that we all make an exception to the tradition of losers bowing out graciously when they have no clear path to winning, and, worse, demand it for a self-serving fake Democrat? Do you not comprehend the concept of good sportsmanship?
It's over, and it's time for the party to coalesce around our candidate, Joe Biden, rather than coddling a sore loser past his sell-by date.
if you don't like it that other people are ready to support their candidate and look ahead to November, then just go home and cry before voting for Dolt45 like you must want to, to keep supporting a loser staying in a race only because he wants to promote himself and his unicorn agenda, both of which Democratic voters--liberal voters--have made clear they do not want.
Because he will not be the candidate and dragging out the primaries because he refuses to accept that helps only the Mango Menace.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
