@War on ….
Ummm…. you probably want to look into how our Democratic Republic works.
The Democratic nominee for President of the United States is chosen by delegates and that doesn’t happen for two weeks. So the Democrats are in the same situation that they were yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, and the day before that ….. They have no nominee and that would be the case no matter what, the official voting for the nominee hasn’t happened yet. Hence why POTUS Biden was referred to as the “presumptive nominee”.
Happy to provide the fairly rudimentary civics lesson, hope you were able to keep up but strongly doubt it.

Someone needs to accept that the Democratic party is about as flawed as the Republican party. The primary difference is that our candidates lie to us and their candidates lie to them. Remember “Build Back Better”? Neither do the politicians who promised to pass it to us if we voted for them. Our politicians changed their minds.
The idea that one group of millionaires pretending that they aren’t self-serving millionaires is absurd. Some even have the gold bars and wads of cash to prove it.

And that ”someone” is you.
