    They do, (for better or worse) Biden’s a career politician who has consistently won elections for decades. He beat trump before and has been out raising him this whole time.

    Check out OPs post history. It’s almost like they only post articles meant to give you a certain impression…

      No, they clearly don’t, because they didn’t fucking check when these deadlines were and then just handed over a dumb story to people they should know want to do them harm. Washington probably will cover their ass, but Ohio and Alabama will be all too happy to hang them out to dry. This is a national organization taking in millions of dollars to support their mission of winning the perpetual “most important election”, you’d think they’d pay a lawyer to check fucking filing dates. You’d be fired for this at a normal job, but it’s just endless second chances in the Democratic establishment.

      Biden winning a blue seat for decades isn’t evidence his team or the DNC (whoever made this call) is good at their job, unless you also think Chuck Grassley has the best and brightest political minds working for him. And OP has nothing to do with this. They didn’t make up this story of incompetence, it’s running on national news. Pretending OP is the problem is just sticking your head in the sand.

        Relax, this isn’t the first time conventions were held past the date it’s just the first time republicans wanted to use it as a threat to keep an insurrectionist on the ballot.

        Also, candidate Biden’s team doesn’t set nomination conventions for the Democratic party. It makes no sense blaming it on him.

        That level of control you’re upset at NOT seeing is the boogie man they lie about when they claim Biden and Hillary controlled all the strings to shut out poor helpless Bernie. Can’t have it both ways.

          Holy shit, get with the times, man. Republicans are not going to pass a law to give the DNC an exception. They are enemy actors. Don’t be surprised when some bygone comity, most recently driven by a need to support their own candidate’s late convention, doesn’t carry forward. Treat them as threats and don’t give them tools to screw you over.

          Also, candidate Biden’s team doesn’t set nomination conventions for the Democratic party. It makes no sense blaming it on him.

          I never blamed Biden for this. You’re the one who said that Biden’s wins means the people who did this were competent. The people setting up the convention are however, certainly “working to get Biden elected” (the actual people I blamed). Though I find it massively naïve of you to assume his direct campaign staff are just passive onlookers in the process. Even if they were, they should be on it too. If a third party’s incompetence can fuck up your ballot access, double check their work. These weren’t secret dates and everyone knows who’s in charge in Alabama and Ohio.
