        Edit: hey wait, I just realized I went down the wrong argumentative avenue. The fact that Biden was better than Trump doesn’t mean he was pro-union or fit for office. Conover remains correct

        We could have had option C

          Option C lost the Primary by 10 Million votes in 2020 and didn’t even compete in the 2024 Primary.

          Fuck off with your fantasies. You had option A or B.

            As of November 3rd 2020, that’s true, and I voted A.

            In between elections, we had a chance to get C in the race, and we failed.

            As of November 5th 2024, it was actually option D or B, and I voted D.

            Maybe if option A had dropped out earlier and let us have a primary, option C would have been in the race. Maybe he would have even won.

              Biden won the 2024 primary, which is exactly what you can always expect from an incumbent, and passed his nomination to his longtime VP, so I still consider it Option A.
