Maybe if BS had conceded graciously and if he, through his worst BSers, hadn’t gone out of their way to lie about the frontrunner and to attack Democratic voters, BS might have gotten a pity-fuck, participation trophy concession or two, but he didn’t do those things.

And there is no upside to giving him anymore concessions. He hasn’t brought anything new to the party but being an even bigger pain in the ass. His {laugh now} youth vote revolution never materialized (as political realists knew it wouldn’t). He didn’t expand his “coalition” any by appealing to any new demographic. Hell, he didn’t bring in any new voters or new ideas at all.

BS2020 was the same old tired BS2016, only with louder yelling and more of that damned finger-jabbing. Personally, I want to break off that damned finger and throat-punch him with it.

The point is: If you don’t have anything new to offer, and you’re an epic fail asshole toward the nominee and the majority of the party’s voters on top of it all, then you can’t get any new concessions.

So the hell with him. I’d tell him to stay away from the convention, because only real Democrats are allowed. He can be there in 2024 only if he puts a D by his name and campaigns for Biden and down-ticket Democratic candidates until the 2024 convention.

Otherwise, rain on him.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
