        I don’t see how it makes any sense to blame the voters for Biden’s ego. Dude’s convinced he’s the only one who can win, apparently, else he’d step down and we’d have a brokered convention. How is that any of our faults?

            There were no real options on the primary ballot. There would have been, had he decided not to run, but he didn’t.

                So because not enough democrats showed up to a primary to vote for nobody, we’re all guilty of gaslighting Joe Biden? That’s stupid. That was never going to happen.

                  It happened in Michigan. So it was always possible. And you don’t vote for nobody, primaries include all offices going to election. You just leave one box blank. That’s all.

                    I can see your point, and I’m sorry I kept engaging with you in such a rude and shallow way. I was taken aback by the idea that we were guilty of gaslighting the president, but there was no call to be a jerk about it. Apologies, and best of luck to you.
