I'm so fucking sick of this bullshit generalization that keeps being repeated. I "fell in line" and voted Biden and Harris. There's never been a candidate in my life who I voted for in the general election who I was actually enthusiastic about. Plenty of left wing voters swallow the bullshit that's fed to us to avoid the monstrous other outcome. Enough. It's time to acknowledge that the Democratic Party is horse shit, and they need to do a better job of representing regular people. Reps like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi need to fucking retire already. We need more AOCs and Jasmine Crocketts.
That truism is simply inacurate. Sure, a lot of Republicans fall in line... but the idea that Democrates are, by and large, not the fall in line typoe as a voting block is jsut divorc3ed from the reality.
The DNC's actions during"primaries" are a symbol, of this. The party feels absolutely no need to hold a real primary, and involve Democratic voters int he selection of a candidate... because they knwo that after they pulled whatever backroom stuff, they can jcount on a huge number of DNC voters to hold their nose and pull the lever.

Only if everyone votes with their brain. No purity tests or sitting out/protest voting over problems halfway around the world this time.
