Usually, that's the accusation leveled towards "Vote Blue no matter who" types, not the far-left types who deny that Democrats have ever done anything that has improved anyone's life.

Oh, I meant the people saying all the stuff that SpongeBob is showing Patrick.

Blue MAGA are vociferous that Biden is the second coming of Jesus Christ.

I have never, ever come across this person, but I will totally vote blue no matter who when the opposition is today's average Republican

And that’s why they’ll never change

democrats went to court to defend their right to ignore primary voters.

The DNC completely restructured their convention process after this happened. Sanders and his supporters fought hard for this change, at least try to pay attention:

Adoption of superdelegate reform (2018)

On August 25, 2018, the DNC approved a plan to reduce the influence of superdelegates by barring them from voting on the first ballot at the Democratic National Convention, allowing them to vote only in a contested convention (i.e., if a Democratic National Convention did not choose the nominee on the first ballot, because no candidate received an absolute majority (more than 50%) of the pledged delegates elected from the outcome of primaries and caucuses). This does not preclude superdelegates from publicly endorsing a candidate of their choosing before the convention.

this has nothing to do with how they structured the primary, favoring hilary with party resources. they chose hilary long before the first superdelegate vote.

?! If you don't want to be condescended to, don't set yourself up for it. Develop a cogent argument my man

[–] federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

you seem to be misunderstanding me. the comment i'm quoting had nothing to do with how the structured the primary.

[–] federatingIsTooHard@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

at least try to pay attention

don't condescend to me

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's... not a thing. I can walk outside and find a MAGA, I would have to troll online depths to find anyone that thinks Biden is great.

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You haven't been on reddit's politics subreddit, or on BlueSky enough then.

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Correct. Why would I go to either place?
