“Behind the scenes, people at the Biden campaign and DNC are working to put in the fix,” warned one Biden delegate from Maryland.

It’s not “ramming through Biden”. He won the nomination fair and square. And he’s beating Trump in the 538 model as of right now.

So thanks for your input, Token Boomer. I think the stories about “fury” are overblown.

So. How was it fair? He was the only candidate to be on all the ballots. The next closest was maybe half the ballots.

Like no. They didn’t do a primary. Saying they did a primary… is like saying Fyre was a festival.

To get on the ballots, according to the rules of the party, you need to get signatures and enthusiasm. No other candidate did that.

Get over it! Democrats can elect whomever they want!

They should elect a new name while they’re at it, this isn’t democratic.

The candidates other than Biden weren’t on around half the ballots, so please tell me how it was fair?

Did you see the other candidates? Did you want Dean Phillips? Or Jason Palmer? I’m kind of confused who this shunted star was.

If they do not allow the delegates to vote at the convention, it is ramming through. It is denying the delegates the right to vote. Is this the democracy we’re supposed to be saving?

YSK 538 changed considerably a little over a year ago. Nate Silver left, and took his models with him.

The new 538 is run by someone with highly questionable models and methods.

Silver has Trump up by 2, but form your own opinion about who is winning. Apparently polls don’t matter.

I guess it’s not surprising that you cherry-picked the “national polls” and not the election forecast. After all, it’s the election that matters.

It’s almost like you’re trying to skew opinion with bullshit.

Nearly all of the swing state polls also show Biden losing. But liberals thought they knew better in 2020 by trying to shout down leftists telling him what type of mess they’re creating by voting for Biden.

And like before, they’re telling us to shut up and vote for the guy that created most of the mess that we’re currently in. If there’s a law that’s specifically targets marginalized communities which include the working class, it has Biden’s fingerprints on it and in all likelihood he wrote it

I’m sorry if this post cost Biden the election, I should’ve considered the ramifications. I may never recover. /s
