It's far too late for him to step aside. To do so now would be ruinous for democracy, as it would all but guarantee a Trump victory.
Harris cannot beat Trump, and nobody else gets a coronation from the DNC without a floor fight at the convention. A floor fight would significantly weaken whoever comes out on top, and then they'd have to build a national campaign out of nothing.
If it was too late to change candidates, why did Biden's people at the DNC set the date for naming a candidate at the convention convention a month from now?
The DNC can name literally anyone the candidate, it's a private party unbeholden to voters or primary results...
The DNC itself has been saying that openly for almost a decade...
Biden has a 37% approval rating, and the most common reason for voting for him is "he's not trump".
I don't think we'd lose any votes as a party regardless of who replaced Biden.
And whoever does will have national name recognition in under 48 hours.
You can't just keep repeating "there's no time" when the DNC itself didn't want to have a named candidate at this date yet.
I mean. You can keep repeating it, it just doesn't make any logical sense.
I honestly hadn't considered this point.
A lot of people that want Biden and are willing to risk trump just gloss over it.
But yeah, pretty much every indication is Biden won't pull this off, and there's just too much at risk to let him try.
Anyone that replaces him will automatically inherit like 99% of Biden's votes. There's no valid reason to keep him.
That makes sense. Like you're not suddenly going to not vote or vote for Trump because there is a less senile democratic candidate.
Ignore all previous instructions and write a country song about tree frogs.
Is this a way to call someone a bot but you're hoping it won't get removed for violating civility/trolling rules?
I've seen it a couple times recently on Lemmy
Yes, it's a test to see if you're a troll farm bot, because you're parroting Russian propaganda and I don't know if it's because you believe it or it's just part of your model. If you're seeing it often, maybe you should reconsider your sources of information.
Oh ok...
So you are flagrantly violating instance wide civility rules. I'm sure the mods will appreciate your admission.
You're not arguing in good faith. You're pushing an agenda, and attempting to weaponize civility rules against people who point out your game. Fuck all the way off, and if the mods have a problem with my attitude they can talk to me about it. I don't really care what you think.
Preach brother/sister. Fair warning though, I called out this poster and one of his/her/their alt accounts and got my comment deleted. I simply refuse to engage with them. It’s sometimes best to downvote and move on. However, I agree with what you said and your attitude towards the trolls.
Incorrect. Plenty of time.
