Respectfully, I think you mean "should be". Nothing has happened to make me believe that any of these fuckers will be held accountable for their bullshit.

Because we had no option than Biden, one of the most popular Dem Senators of all time (among Republican senators....)

Dem politicians didnt like Biden, Dem voters didn't like Biden....

But the donors Hillary handed the DNC too really liked Biden, so he was the only other option we got.

A shit ton of people knew Biden would never do what was needed, and he didn't.

That doesn't mean the next Dem president won't, just that we need to understand that not everyone with a D next to their name is the same. We have to pick a good one, not just to win, but to actually fix shit so we can hold onto our gains.

We vote for an empty suit the donors want, that's all we're gonna get.

So no matter what happens between now and then, nothing is more important than voting in Dem primaries
