HaHa You're funny. It wasn't real? So the states just went through the motions and spent taxpayer money for a joke? It was an open process. If someone serious wanted to run, they could have had at it. The thing is the base across a wide spectrum is fine with Joe. Yea, sometimes he's your crazy uncle or grandpa, sometimes his policy choic…

If someone serious wanted to run, they could have had at it. The thing is the base across a wide spectrum is fine with Joe. Yea, sometimes he's your crazy uncle or grandpa, sometimes his policy choices on specific topics are infuriating, but we like him, we know what he's doing and WE CHOSE HIM. So don't steal it just because you weren't paying attention.
Yes, the states spend government money (taxpayer money doesn't exist and is a right-wing rhetorical formulation designed to manipulate you into opposing government spending) on jokes all the time. Mississippi gave a bunch of money to Brett Favre for literally nothing. You might have heard about it, it was a real big story. State-level corruption and graft are quite common, and you think state governments wouldn't spend money on something that is a total joke?
I hold that against Joe also. Bernie didn't run this time. Joe won. The alternative is Holocaust Trump. You down with that? There can be no legitimate winning alternative to Joe in the time left. No money, no ground game, no campaign apparatus, it's over if you replace Joe.
Look I'll vote for a moldy turnip before I vote for trump. If said turnip is biden, fine. So no, I'm not down with another 4 years of trump. And, frankly, that line of criticism is so fucking boring - we realize the threat of trump! That's why we want biden to be better or get the fuck out of the way!
Regardless, the fact is that the DNC basically squashed any chance of a serious primary challenge to ol Joe, and with it any chance of establishing a ground game, a campaign apparatus and a money supply.
Also, god love him, but Bernie is too old as well. Also I think his sitting out this time was a strategic choice - he didn't want to go up against an incumbent, which makes sense.

"So the states just went through the motions and spent taxpayer money for a joke?"
Yep, pretty much!
And, despite that joke, a significant proportion of us very much did NOT want Joe, because genocide support was a bridge too far for us.

You know he has a vice president, right?
