I know that it’s popular to dismiss President Biden. I get it. He’s old. This is the first election featuring the 2 oldest candidates, ever. So what? The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election. To boot Biden from the ticket and try to bootstrap another candidate is madness. Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP will succeed is like firing the cook and hoping the dishwasher will give you Michelin-quality food. Stick with the old man, and figure out a way to enact his popular policies while also expanding the Supreme Court, enacting term limits and limiting “Christian” Nationalists.

      No one in this post is telling anyone to not vote, we just don’t want Biden because we don’t think he can win. Everyone in here will vote for Biden if he’s the candidate.

          Sorry, I didn’t see you participating in the post. Most of the other people posting in here seem at least committed to stopping Trump from seizing power, but I understand if you feel it’s more important to vote your conscience.

          Because of the other guy gets in, he’ll show Israel what-for. Right? Otherwise that’s masturbatory virtue-signalling.

          Do not let a fascist take power just so you can pat yourself on the back for contributing nothing.

                Trump and Biden, or rather Democrats and Republicans, are functionally the same. If you don’t see that it’s either because you aren’t affected by their violence and don’t care about people who are, or because you’re a fool. Quit wasting your time on these dead ends and recognize reality, the bourgeoisie are the only people with real power in the US. Any choices the masses are given electorally that may come to pass are insignificant to the greater capitalist and imperialist power structure. At most they are concessions (which can later be rolled back) to pacify you. Stop being the obedient dog of your owners! If you really want to improve this dumpster fire of a country, join your local communist party and start building the foundation for a better future. And for fucks sake, read some books about how capitalism works so you stop getting caught with your pants down. If you actually care at all and want some recommendations or links I’d be happy to provide what I can.

      Fun fact, it’s looking increasingly likely that Biden steps down this weekend.

      Your sanctimonious image apply to the entire DNC?

      P.s. you don’t get to be this dismissive about other people views, and this wrong about reality too. One or the other, not both. Might want to consider your process of thinking if you’re so much a follower that you continue to be this cult like as your leaders go in a different direction.
