    If democrats in the US vote for stuff like Biden, then they’re not voting for any radical change

    I don’t exactly know the details, but weren’t there accusations of meddling from the DNC that stoppered Sanders’ chance of securing the nomination, and a belief among some that he might have won the nomination if it had been a free and fair primary process?

    In other words, it’s possible (though by no means certain) that your sentence above works if “democrats” means “the DNC and the establishment of the Democratic Party”, but not if it means “people who by-and-large support the Democratic Party”.

      The Dems did some delegate fuckery where all candidates endorsed Biden because Bernie Trump had to be stopped at all cost, and their delegates went to Biden even if he hadn’t been voted for. Kamala contributed all of her 0 delegates and got VP for being a cop the first to drop out iirc.
