So essentially you're saying the problem is Dem voters have standards...
And the fix isn't Dem politicians who meet those standards...
Instead you want Dem voters to throw away their standards?
You realize that leaves America with two options that are morally bad?
I don't think you realize just how many votes Dems leave on the table by only aiming to be a little better than Donald fucking Trump.
The standard for a Dem candidate should be about what Dem voters are willing to vote for. Not just being a better choice than the republican. We keep trying it and it keeps not working. So why not try a better candidate who will be a better president?
What's the point in settling for someone less popular with Dem voters because the only other choice is a literal fascist?
Sure and look where all the dem voter standards got them.
Wait, you think Biden/Kamala met the standard of Dem voters?
It's a two party system. Aiming a little better is all that's needed. The system with campaign funding also doesn't allow for much better.
Is that why Kamala is the incoming president?
Because I could have fucking sworn it literally just didn't work...
