I don't give a shit how demented biden gets. fucking Regan showed that you won't even notice if the support staff step up.
So if the support staff will do everything, why Biden?
Like would you feel comfortable seeing your pilot pound a fifth of whiskey and then snort a couple.lines of coke before walking on the plane?
You do have a co-pilot there anyways...
Like, why not ask for a competent president in addition to the staff?
Especially when half the plane is insisting Jesus will take the wheel and we don't need pilots and there's a vote coming?
I don't trust the support staff the other guy is going to pick.
But it's not just Biden or trump...
We're talking about replacing Biden with someone that's more likely to win the election.
Like, if we run Biden and the polls are right, you know that means trump picks the staff...
Right?
Who would that be though?
Literally any Dem not named Hilary Clinton...
I used to include Kamala, but honestly I think she'll do well enough to beat trump. Her biggest criticism is being a prosecutor, but she's up against trump, she knows how to handle criminals
It's not even about who I want to be president. I sure as shit don't want Kamala. I just want trump less.
If I thought sticking my head in the sand would help beat Trump I would.
I feel better about him than the guy who wants to fly the plane into a skyscraper and who gets to pick a support staff that might help him do that. The airline has terrible staffing policies, but I don't really get to change them in the 30 minutes before the plane takes off.
You do know you're in a thread about Biden stepping aside, right?
And the question was:
And I'm just getting responses about how Biden is better than trump.
Literally nobody here is disagreeing with that.
You're just making the case that not even Biden supporters can explain why they think he has to be the nominee. At least not a reason that's not easily disproven.
You do realize Biden has a staff of over 120 people with roles that include trying to control narratives on social media. I think some of these people are legitimate but I can't help but think some of them are AI bots or staffers working for Biden trying to manipulate the conversations and discussions.
Biden is toast. The sooner Democrats, bots and staff members realize that the quicker we can energize the party with a different candidate that people actually like and that can engage in unscripted questions and policy discussions while speaking from the heart.
If this was twitter, reddit, or Facebook maybe. Especially if they werent always down voted.
But the chances of that happening on Lemmy is almost zero. It's just a shit return of investment due to the small userbase and engagement.
It's honestly what I like best about Lemmy.
Lemmy is where people with actual ideas go. Those capable of thinking outside the box. Government usually tries to stay on top of progressive technology because it is where change is actually happening. Twitter, Reddit, etc. is just a bunch of bots competing with other bots.
The reason is I don't get to pick who the nominee is at this point.
You missed the part where I said I don't give a shit.
