    not to be too cynical, but never underestimated the DNC’s ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

      Dems: The country has shown us that we are still filled with racists and misogynists. Better send in a woman of color in the most important election ever to keep a fascists out of power!

      Narrator: It’s a bold move Cotton. Let’s see if it works out!

        Really. I’m glad people on Lemmy seem energized by this, but this site does not represent the US voting population.

        I just hope this was the right call. It’s a major gamble this late in the race.

      It is kind of nonsensical. But it (unintentionally?) highlights the deep irony that our saving grace from dictatorship is a candidate who has never received a primary vote for president. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad Biden dropped out and I think we have a better chance of keeping Trump out now, but we are far from a democracy right now.

          To be clear: that was my take on it. I don’t think that was the article’s intention. OP did accurately copy the actual article title.

        I would also push back on having one chance. They’re not going to just scrap everything if they lose. The next time a republican wins they’re going for it.
