Get ready for all the stages of grief at the same time and I’ll warn you.
Most people get stuck on denial and anger.

I’m not sure how to parse what you’re saying. As far as DNC rules are concerned, they “call” it once all primary races are held.

I believe it means that you weren’t paying attention during the 2020 primaries or the news around them then. The DNC Does not wait and did not. Claiming Biden the Presumptive nominee 38 days after the first delegate picked. Obama took 120 days. To give you an idea of how fast that was, faster than Trump’s nomination in 2020.

You are correct though. The primary eventually went the way it went. He lost it by the rules but there is a reason people don’t feel good about the rules presented and that needs to be dealt with.

I would also just want to finish with the simple, how is pointing out how popular his rallies were be a negative to his electability while being an usurper to someone in social and legal discourse?

Bernie Sanders won 3 out of 5 primaries that occurred before the DNC called it for Biden in 2020 with Buttigeg picking up 1 other. In 2016 Sanders won 23 races and was at 43% of the popular vote despite extreme pushback by the DNC. He was democratically supported cause he had people voting for him. Democratically.

And sure but with some of the worst polling numbers Biden, did not need to or should have thought he had incumbent advantage. Mud had a better approval rating.

And the change was from that and a protest vote of 100,000 voters voting against Biden in a primary that had no other option that’s was being ignored until the rich donors realized the polling wasnt gonna get better after the debate proved he was not fit for office.

There was time but the argument was made that it would be difficult and all the donations already made could be immediately given to Harris as she was already on the ticket, thus letting the money flow (which the DNC outspent Trump 2:1)

They got what they wanted which was a younger centrist willing to do Biden-esque policy without question that they thought would be easy with identity politics and being “not Trump” which is viewed as the main issue and not what issues he represents as a fix for.
Mostly being a willingness to change from status quo.

Which is exactly what hasn’t been allowed in races as shown before.

Oh yeah. But it’s people’s perceptions that everyone is hunting for anyways. It’s fake love for the working class in the way the rich love their butler but will replace him if he ever gets sick.

But that perception and the story of the party is super important and how to win elections. The Democrats haven’t been chasing that identity and let it slip while trying to figure out who should be the candidate that cost the least amount of money for its donors.

It’s not impossible to see how the perceptions got to where they are.

Institutional democrats who thought they knew what they were doing and could ignore the base of the party is to blame. Biden being top of the list. Stubborn self assured who when finally pushed to change was only willing to do it on his terms. And made a decision for everyone, again.

One of the big stories is a Democratic party Mayor of a super Blue city being corrupt and organizing police to defend him and yet not a single member of the party has spoken out against it. Endorsed by Hakeem Jeffries.

Status quo is far more important than listening to their base right now and hopefully it changes instead of them once again thinking they need to head further right.

And for the love all things holy I hope the Democrats learn to stop “gaming” the election with specific counties in “blue walls” because they did advanced math that told them it was all they needed. Bare minimum should never have been the goal.

That’s a word salad I can’t decipher. Sorry.

No thanks!

Edit: sorry don’t mean to be that dismissive and I get there are more uses sure. But I’m also just not interested in AI “artwork” or legitimizing it.

Mmmmm… That’s a crisp gif.

As someone not logged in or with an account I keep getting

These images hidden for mature content settings

From swiping through those thumbnails so… I’m taking they are able to generate some NSFW images just fine.

Honestly who is using AI generation for anything but that? I’ve only heard about fursonas and D&D stuff as well but let’s be honest roleplay was secondary use of that dungeon too.

That’s like saying the only people who bake wedding cakes are bakers…

I mean yeah. But what of it? Or are you already implying a level of abuse and connotation to the mental disorder?

I call them a cunt and I get yelled at for being unprofessional in a social media platform and I get banned for them being an an instigator that purposefully states incorrect and inflammatory things.

It has happened. I’ve been called a lot of things and responding to it saying it’s bait from an asshole got me banned for like 7 days months ago on a lemmy.world news thread. The person got upvotes and praise for sticking up for themselves.

This platform likes the bad faith and calling them out is an attack on the in groups that like it. This is a large part here and why I think it’s bad at being a welcoming community.

I want it to move in a better direction not just pretend that it’s fine and ignore it. But I’m coming around to not caring. Not thinking about things seems to be standard, and safer for people’s lives.

A vague question like yours does not imply you want an actual answer without dismissing it.

So why would I waste my time typing it out?
It holds just as much weight as your question so feels the same to me.

Wow that’s a new one… I knew the eating spiders was a myth I just didn’t realize they preferred the other end.

What’s wrong with wanting something else?

Thank you! I actually appreciate the honesty. That’s something I can work with.

Maybe, hopefully.

I don’t think it is far different from the snark I see but I don’t think I should emulate that I guess if I hate it when done to me. I just don’t like having to take the high road just cause I apparently invite it.

What a privileged take of an author thinking that’s the base level of suffering of a person they don’t know.

I understand that I’m not the intended audience since I can’t afford to have my broken tooth fixed but than maybe the author should have left this as an audience of just themselves.

What a twat.

Yeah the topics aren’t necessarily the problem it’s how it’s not a conversation most of the time it’s just snarky fighting to be the most right or up voted cause they act like they are right.

I would hope it’s not these topics making people shutty or else that doesn’t bode well for them.

Why is it generic if it’s how I feel? Isn’t that just a way to claim people upset are wrong? The generic thing seems to be liking it. I’m just pointing out some of the awareness at least of what we are surrounded by anyways that doesn’t seem true for people in the gardening community with a huge house in the suburbs.

I have stuff I like. I just get stuck between young people panicking about existence in a shit world and gen x ignoring it with memes from 3 decades ago in here.

Yeah it’s annoying it’s the majority of conversations in here, but I don’t going around assuming people are neck beards help gets us off that.

What? If you got stuff say it.

Same way in the infinite random non repeating numbers of Pi is the binary of a 4k resolution photo of Betty White nude holding a snake on a tiger.

It’s random forever and eventually the 1s and 0s fall into place. The problem is the monkeys repeating themselves.
