Contested Democratic Convention

So. The Democratic Convention is in Chicago in August. Sound familiar?

Joe beat Trump last time, but his numbers are worse than they were then. And he’s old af. What are the odds of a contested convention? I know the Party will try to lock Biden in an early as possible, but it’s not a sure bet. I think the last time there was a contested convention with an incumbent was in 1980, with Carter and Kennedy.

Is there enough democracy left in the Democratic Party to recognize most Democrats don’t want Biden as a nominee? What’s gonna happen, and who is going to step up to the plate to contest it? Thoughts?

This is exactly how Trump won his first term. They are jamming immensely unpopular candidates down our throats while ignoring all polling. Then they’ll do the usual ‘oh no, you have to vote for our guy because it’s the most important election of our lifetime’ bullshit.

For reference, it appears every single election I’ve been alive for has coincidentally been the most important election of our lifetime.

The Democrats must have way better candidates for sure, but most of them are probably too left (read: too center right) for the so-called moderate Democrats.

Hey, I got fooled listening to George HW Bush in 1989 and Obama in 2012. Both of them blew smoke up my ass and I voted for them instead of the guy who had 'some of my' best interests at heart.

Imagine voting for Mike Dukakis (a major league Democratic dipshit) and Mitt Romney - who blew his shit up with his leaked recording that made it to the internet before the election.

I should also mention that Bob Dole (Republican Senator running for President in 1996) also almost swayed me to vote for him. But since he was a republican who ALWAYS voted against the things/goals/desires of mine - I voted again for Bill.

Every election since John Fitzgerald Kennedy's 1960 election - has been the most important election AT THAT TIME.

Wake the fuck up. If you don't cast a vote for Brandon next year - you're gonna find out what real tyranny feels like.

I made the mistake of voting for Nader in 2000. Then 9/11 happened and we went to war with Iran and I realized my mistake. Never again. For once I agree with you - these elections are important. For all the faults of the Dems, there is a difference between the parties, and with Trump in the game, that difference becomes starkly obvious.
