This is so dumb- let’s elect Hitler’s biggest fan cause the other guy is slightly not as good as I’d like.
ITs not about what I like or dont like.
Biden isn't winning this race. He is and will continue to lose to Trump.
If you dont want Trump, you must replace Biden.
Unfortunately, that only goes a couple of ways:
The only way I see a "D" win is for Joe to die in office, Kamala picks up the reins and gets a massive sympathy vote.
I mean, you and others where we're advocating that Biden was our only chance of beating Trump, and you in particular worked to silence voices trying to inform people that Biden was not winning this election.
So you shouldn't be surprised that I weight your opinion on what "will" happen politically to effectively 0.
R2O got a timeout for admitting that his relentless doom posting was agenda based, not because they were wrong. :)
I actually agreed with a lot of the articles posted.
Biden is walking a very fine line and since the debate, he's on the wrong side of it. He's confident he will recover, I think that's delusional.
What I can guarantee will happen next is this:
There will be a bigger bump when he announces his VP pick.
Without the conviction sentencing, the bump will be bigger than expected which will inspire more doom posting and calls for Biden to step aside.
Biden will power through to the Democratic convention in August.
Any more mis-steps or health scares between now and August? That will make it hard to continue.
Sure, put Bernie up, I’ll vote for him again.
WE KNOW.
You cats don’t shut up about it, and have no other ideas for the greatest issues of our times… you should start a religion.
Why do you insist on these insane projections?
Harris is fine. Fucking Newsom is fine. Fucking ANYONE who is able to get through a fucking sentence where they remember how the sentence started is fine. It would also be great if they didn't advocate for the dropping bombs on brown babies so we could win back MI/ MN/ and WI, but at this point, Biden has an effectively 0% chance of winning this thing.
If you advocate for him, or are trying to prevent a conversation that is critical of him, YOU are a Trump supporter.
I’m not advocating for anyone other than not trump- but I am concerned that putting someone up that no one knows much about is gonna cause people to just not vote out of frustration/apathy/ignorance, and then what happens?
People know about Biden. He's losing. This would be a fine argument if he was just winning but looked shaky, but that's not the situation.
That hand wringing attitude has left us with a incompetent candidate who is absolutely losing this race.
Harris will lose. She's less popular than Hillary Clinton - that's fucking impressive.
So I very much object to "Harris is fine".
