It seems that people like being in crisis, rather than having stability. (lemmy.world)

Look at the options on the other side though:

  • Biden - dropped out because he's ancient
  • Harris - didn't even primary, the DNC just picked her

So you have an awful selection on one side and "mommy knows best" on the other. Which variety of corruption do you elect?

I consider the current DNC and Democratic party elites to be part of the problem.

They absolutely are. When there are only two viable options, each has an effective monopoly, and that's a problem.

We should stop aligning with a tribe and instead demand lasting change. End FPTP and we'll have a shot at ending the duopoly. It's not going to break it on its own, but it's a step in the right direction.
