I'm not smiling. Nor was I ever happy with what's going on. Don't assume anyone is.
Ok.
You may not be, but just about every Dem in congress is.
A third of the electorate votes. Half of those are repubs. A fraction of dems campaign/protest. A fraction of them are actually in government. Dissatisfied people are not the minority.
Ok. I don't disagree with anything you said.
The Democrats in power still put forth a candidate that is very unpopular.
Only because there was no movement to primary him. If some of these checked out people showed up we could have easily ousted joe.
Not just that. They've never primaried any incumbent president ever. You can blame Biden for not stepping down possibly for age and health reasons on his own. But seeing as they're likely wasn't an actual better candidate I can't necessarily blame him for staying in either. If there really were a better candidate for everyone to get behind they'd be doing it. But there's been no serious candidates. Not even talk of serious candidates.
It's perfectly reflects how f***** up our society is right now. So many people having to work into their 70s or eighties whether or not they want to.
