    Are people on the left saying this?

    A few. A small, but very loud group online. They’re larger on the Fediverse than most places.

        Usually, that’s the accusation leveled towards “Vote Blue no matter who” types, not the far-left types who deny that Democrats have ever done anything that has improved anyone’s life.

          Oh, I meant the people saying all the stuff that SpongeBob is showing Patrick.

          Blue MAGA are vociferous that Biden is the second coming of Jesus Christ.

                  democrats went to court to defend their right to ignore primary voters.

                    The DNC completely restructured their convention process after this happened. Sanders and his supporters fought hard for this change, at least try to pay attention:

                    Adoption of superdelegate reform (2018)

                    On August 25, 2018, the DNC approved a plan to reduce the influence of superdelegates by barring them from voting on the first ballot at the Democratic National Convention, allowing them to vote only in a contested convention (i.e., if a Democratic National Convention did not choose the nominee on the first ballot, because no candidate received an absolute majority (more than 50%) of the pledged delegates elected from the outcome of primaries and caucuses). This does not preclude superdelegates from publicly endorsing a candidate of their choosing before the convention.

            That’s… not a thing. I can walk outside and find a MAGA, I would have to troll online depths to find anyone that thinks Biden is great.
