    62% of the voters seem to think it’s a worthwhile endeavor. You’re probably right in the sense that democrats couldnt find a progressive candidate if they came up and kicked them in the ass.

      The last time the Democrats did that was Ted Kennedy challenging Carter. Even with a historically unpopular president and a well-known challenger he still lost.

      I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but our government is dysfunctional and incumbents are not successfully primaried.

          Lots of things. That’s what we get for having a dysfunctional government. Stop thinking it’s going to work effectively: It won’t.

            … you’re saying things won’t work effectively but then claiming to understand exactly how it works. I sense a contradiction.

              Your initial question didn’t make sense at all because the verb tenses don’t agree. I’m just doing my best to attempt to communicate with you.

                  What was lost if Biden can’t get it over the goal line?

                  Now who sounds like an AI?

                  No shit but also why the fuck didn’t we primary him?

                  Because that’s not how our government really works.

                    Seems like you understand everything just fine. Still being obtuse but still understand, I guess.
