    Florida Democrats just cancelled the primaries and put Joe Biden's name on the ballot. "Defenders of democracy."

    I love how Politico failed to mention the other primary challengers to Joe Biden.

    Remember folks, this the party that claims to be saving democracy. This is also why RFK Jr. went independent, he saw this coming.

    Go ahead, spin away, Spin Doctor. We all know you're fine with the Democratic Party subverting democracy. They did it to Bernie Sanders, twice.

    Yeah, especially when you've already drawn the conclusion you wish to draw. Context is for the libs, real Americans don't need things like reading comprehension and critical thinking!

    Think about that statement for just a moment.

    How can we have a discussion on the two articles you shared when you haven’t read the articles?

    I will come back once we both have at least the same basic understanding of the situation.

    I'm sorry I didn't realize you had such a low bar for morality. Just because something isn't illegal, doesn't mean it isn't wrong. Employers are not required to provide breaks for working adults, in VA. it's not illegal, but it's wrong to not provide breaks.

    To be fair, the articles are long and there's lots of big words in them.

    Wow, it's really sad that you think that, I certainly don't. Maybe you should consider taking some basic reading and writing classes.

    Those assholes!

    The only rational thing to do is to remove Biden from office and reinstate Trump immediately. Anyone who disagrees with this is an irrational moron.

    The rational thing to do would be to hold a primary and allow the people of the state of Florida to decide who they want. You know, a democratic process.

    Well, the Dems are rigging elections again, which could be a reference to the "election" of 2020...you know, the one that wasn't questionable at all (if you're a brainless sheeple, that is). The Dems won't rest until democracy is dead and everyone has to use they/them pronouns. Go Trum--I mean, RFK Jr!

    That's what the mainstream media and the deep state want you to think.

    How do you feel about Idaho Republicans refusing to allow people who haven’t been registered as Republicans for at least a year to vote in primaries?

    This thread is about the Democrats shutting down the primary in Florida. If you want to discuss Republicans in Idaho then I suggest you start a thread about that. In other words, quit trying to change the subject.

    For real.

    If Billy doesn’t take this topic seriously enough to even read his own articles why should anyone else take it or him seriously?

    Looking at the process I now see why the duh has shit for dem participants. The boy is right on the idea that it is seriously fucked that the dem party can pretty much decide who they put on the ballot with no real way to get on otherwise. Yes, it is the rule, and it is extremely corrupt and full of shit. This also explains why the dems in the duh have people like DWS and Christ all over their ballots. Why would you even bother trying when the party itself is the only people allowing candidates to run?

    Are you a corrupt dem who will follow the money masters? If not then we won't put you on the ballot.

    I will admit the dem party has pretty much used the media to squash any potential for a primary challenge to corrupt joe the shitbag asshole, but when he loses they only have themselves to blame for yet another dem loss to trump. Maybe instead of who they want they might want to run someone the people are excited about?

    When it comes down to a third party candidate that the left wants to vote for the Biden Bros have no one to blame but themselves for the reality no one is coming out for sleepy joe. All this shit does is cause people to stay home and vote third party.

    “What have they done in previous cycles with a Democratic incumbent?” would be my only question, but it’s certainly not a good look. Not good for voter engagement. Probably pointless though as the other 3 will either have been de facto eliminated by the, and the Republicans are likely to take Florida in the general. Very bad for down ballot candidates though.
