Well congratulations "liberals", bots, propagandists, defeatists. You win. If Trump had beaten Biden, it would have been Biden's fault, along with the party. Now the party gets to share the blame with you. You lot gambled this for the rest of us. Let's hope your bet pays off. Open your wallets and hit the pavement. If you're a real person and you pitched a fit so this would happen, you got what you wanted. Act like it. Your lobbying won you an obligation to campaign. If you were on social media begging for Biden to quit, now you owe the time you spent here to Harris's campaign (or whomever the fuck they nominate).

You bought it. You own it.
- You must be too young to remember Clinton losing to Trump and rather than “oh this is Clinton and the party’s fault”, they blamed it all on “Bernie bros” despite there being absolutely no data to back it up.
  
  If I’ve learned anything in my decades on this earth, it’s that the DNC will fuck everything up, and they will blame anything bad that happens on the progressive wing of the party.
- I hate the anti-Biden bots and bot-curious types as much as you do. But it was Biden's decision and I doubt anything said on social media influenced that decision. There's the debate performance, the polling data, the fact that he is actually old and isn't going to be able to do two rallies per day for the next 100 days while also doing the job of President. Those were the real world factors that likely influenced Biden more than anything on social media.
  
  I was all in on saying nice things about Biden and trying to downplay the age problem for the next 100 days. Whatever it takes to prevent Trump from getting back into the Whitehouse.
  
  But Kamala Harris has a slightly better chance than Biden. I think young people value identity politics too much... but we got just over 100 days left so we can talk about that later. For now... hello fellow young people, don't you want to be a part of history and vote for the first woman President of the US? Vote Harris!
  
  I'll miss the Dark Brandon memes... but now we're pushing coconut memes? Is that what we're doing now?
