@javawithjiva@mastodon.social The answer is that the members in the general public of the two major parties just don't really care about those priorities.
Mainstream Republicans consistently say they just want to fight. Like a WWE wrestling match. They don't even care about winning, honestly, they just want to fight. Okay.
Mainstream Democrats are following the tradition of nominating the sitting president. Why? Doesn't matter. That's just what they're doing.
Personally I'm not disappointed since this seemed to be the entirely predictable outcome from that situation in the country.
Either party could win the election by nominating someone else. That they have not really moved in that direction just shows that they're not really interested in winning. They have other priorities.
