      Which convention? The one that “unfairly” nominated Hillary? The convention that nominated Biden?

      Bottom line is that “conventions” will not satisfy folks who don’t care. The checks from the heritage foundation appear to only perpetuate crap like you mention…

        No, Biden is not the same asshole he was even 12 months ago. 12 months ago he had gotten infrastructure done and was moving on to student loan forgiveness, hadn’t bombed thousands of children into their graves, hadn’t advocated for the most draconian border policy of all time, and could remember the beginnings of the sentences he was supposed to be finishing.

        Biden isn’t the same person he once was. Also, since you acknowledge that you are intentionally in clear violation of Rule 4, @jordanlund@lemmy.world .
