Jeez Biden now has a choice in my opinion, fighting a two-way battle against a united Republican party and the other half of the dissenting Democrats or swallow his pride and pass on the baton to someone that could be more convincing to voters than Trump. Biden was the right choice against Trump in 2020, because he won by convincing voters he was way more capable than Trump. Now in 2024 is he still as convincing.

Usually a smart person changes course if they see their current trajectory will lead to failure, a proud person will continue their trajectory even if it will lead to failure, and try and try again until they succeed. The proud person might succeed some of the time, the smart person will succeed most of the time

I hate these arguments because they only focus on Biden.

TRUMP SAID LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE during the debate - oh, but Biden is the problem?!

Just go out and vote, and Trump will go away.

Don't vote, or do a protest vote and you'll regret being this dense later.

For the record, Hitler initially won power through elections, he did not begin the whole totalitarian thing until he was already the Chancellor.

The signs were there before he became Reichschancellor. People just didn’t think he and his party would basically rewire the whole German government into a totalitarian cult of personality. And then we all found out the hard way.

They didn't say anything about fascism.

Welp, awesome meme, though I'm not white.

And I've already learned that lesson, having lived in Venezuela. Venezuelan people think that this year's elections will bring change - nope. As long as the authoritarians are in power, they control everything. Those elections are truly rigged.

The U.S. is different, though. Voting still works. For the people who don't believe this, I'd like them to explain how Trump lost in 2020 while trying to illegally stay in power.
