    This would require corporatists within the Democrats to allow a true leftist to get through the convention process, and I think that just won’t happen. Hence left loses ground and right gains, year over year.

      But you have got to be excited about voting for Not Trump™ right!? It’s really what gives me hope about the future, voting for Not Republican™©®… Really inspiring stuff that “I’m not Those Guys!”

      :(

        I vote Not Trump because I don’t want to see Americans rounded up and put in camps.

        It’s not a fucking lifestyle choice.

          That wasn’t the point. I was referring to the comment above mentioning a lack of inspirational candidates to vote for, that we’re only voting for Not Trump, which I 100% agree with doing. I don’t want Trump either for the reason you stated and 100000 more, but I wish we had someone to vote for not simply voting against someone else every time.

            Yeah, I mean, it seems like Biden has done a lot of good stuff for the economy, but he can’t reverse 40 years of Reaganomics (practiced by Dems and Reps alike).
