Democratic Political Establishment: "I will slit your throat with a rusted spork if you even think to take my defeat I so rightly stole from victory's jaws!"

Like had fours years to prep literally anyone to take Biden's place, decided "Nah fuck it! We run dementia man!" And then last moment was like "WHAT?! Dementia man not popular? Fuck it, we'll just select whoever ourselves fuck all those primaries." $10 says they learn absolute jack shit from this.

If you raise it to 100 of your dollars to my shiny US 2022 penny, I'll take that bet. I know you want this penny too. I can send you a picture if you want.
