I don’t think that’s true. They know they don’t really have to compete in this election, and it shows. It’s the same mindset that was behind HRC16 and the Hillary campaign promoting Trump.

I was with you until not voting. I have very real concerns about Biden’s ability to even be on the campaign trail. The dude struggles through schedules interviews and appearances in ways that he clearly didn’t used to. It seems to me that they did everything possible to hide his present condition so that there wouldn’t be a real primary, which is a shame, because I think that he’s no longer fit to serve the role of the presidency given present evidence. That said, I would vote for a dead body before I vote for Trump; I’m just frustrated that the democrats are making me.

This gives me a moment of pause. I have grave concerns about Biden’s ability to campaign, concerns that apparently seem to be shared by Obama after their June fundraiser in LA. I also have serious concerns that if the fundraising class decide to withhold support from Biden, and that between a lack of in person campaigning and a lack of funding, his whole campaign is going to be DOA. Biden can’t lean on grassroots fundraising they way Bernie could, and it’s now become clear that the reason Biden hasn’t been making a lot of appearances is because they wanted to keep it under wraps until now so that there wouldn’t be a real primary. But here we are in the real deal and Biden is struggle bussing through interviews. My assumption has pretty much been that he’d step down from the presidency and Harris would become the natural candidate in his place as his VP (Along with the hilarious side effect of making republicans waste all that money on “47” flair). But I guess AOC thinks this won’t be the case. I wish I knew better what she seems to know.

I got the name (Crowd Strike actually) and some basic facts wrong, and the intro probably didn’t come off the way I meant it to.

What I didn’t expect was more strong republican acceptance of this idea. Most republicans I know tend to think in very simple and blunt terms, and have no patience for systems-level thinking.

Edit: I got the name (Crowd Strike) and some basic facts wrong. There are other, better answers here.

This is a niche meme. I like niche memes, even if I don’t get them. I get this, though, and I approve.
