It's unfair to compare Trump to the Joker. The Joker is a strategic and tactical and logistical genius, he didn't inherit his position from "Papa Clown Show" and pretend to be good at what he does.
Doing away with First Past The Post voting will allow us to choose a different, better option.
Why cannot Robin take care of the Batcave? Why Alfred want the Batcave so bad when is clear that he need to retire and let a younger generation have their time?
Ain't Robin also running around in yoga pants and cape, hopping at unexpected individuals in dark alleys?
Joker for president!
This was the first time in Batman history that The Joker got to be Gotham major?
It's so genius, that made me believe it's already happened before.
They be like: your options are a shit sandwich or getting shot in the head.
When all along your options are every other food too, they just removed them from the menu.
You still should pick the shit sandwich over the shot to the head, but you should as hell be mad at both the one who would pull the trigger and the ones who left you with a shit sandwich as the viable alternative.
Eat the sandwich, remove the trigger man then go after the restaurant owners.
But you also don't have Alfred as the one suiting up to fight the Joker either.
I like how Democrats always frame this as the only two choices. They really, REALLY want to lose.
But due to the first-past-the-post system, these are the only two options. The primaries are when you choose the candidates, and the election is when you choose the winner of the candidates. That's the system you have. You really need to switch to a preferential voting system if you want to have more than two options in the presidential election.
The unstated choice is a different candidate for Dems. Joe ran in 2020 as...
....oh fuck nevermind.
It's way easier to run a campaign this way, though. Who wants to acknowledge that the US issues are structural and require solutions that would go against the lobbyists and donors' best interests?
You have a better solution for tens of millions of voters to organize behind in the next 4 months?
They had 4 years to light l find and line someone else up. Biden's age isn't a surprise that snuck up on anyone
Soooo no other solutions? Gotcha, I'll stick with the plan to vote Biden and let Harris take over if he steps down.
A joker who is just as old as Alfred.*
This is Alfred slander. He's the only person on Earth who can slap sense into fucking Batman, not some old fuck who should have been in hospice care two years ago
Terrible analogy.
This is the goddamn DNC's fault. They are allergic to supporting anyone that's not an old school establishment Democrat.
Give us a suitable candidate. Biden is too old and everyone knows it.
Give us someone that is actually progressive and that actually wants to help the American people. We have a few very obvious issues that neither of our geriatric overlords are addressing.
ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE. This is the most important one. Just do something. Anything. Nothing is being done and it's getting hotter every year.
Lower the cost of living. Rent is out of control. Food costs are out of control. It's hard to live right now. Protect US citizens from corporate greed.
Fix the real estate market. Most of us will never be able to own a house because several corporations have been allowed to run amok. Make it so the average person can buy a house.
Healthcare for all. It's not complicated.
Stop the genocide.
Put someone forward with this obvious and simple platform, and I promise they win.
We are not married to Biden. Get us someone younger. Why is this so hard?
Who cares if they die day 1 in office? It's about which party is in charge.
It's about which person is not going to have and abuse his Presidential power.
Ok yeah, but that doesn't mean we need to choose Alfred to do the actual fighting against the Joker. Instead, it's perfectly OK to say "Hey Alfred, let Batman handle the Joker, you watch and provide advice if you're needed."
They knew in 2020 that Joe was slipping but instead of trying to solve the problem then they did nothing but cover up the obvious issues. To go with the metaphor, Alfred was a good man doing the right thing. The modern Democrat party has no Alfred. Instead they now seems to care more about their party's own power over the actual good of the country. Very few people wanted Joe in 2020 but we were told we vote him in to save democracy and then run someone better in 2024. Now here we are going through the same loop. No, if the Democratic party refuses to run a candidate that the people want then we've already lost our democracy. Our two party only system is already a joke and it allows those in power to do whatever they want with the looming threat that the other team will destroy America. I'm sorry to say but the Joker is already in charge.
I disagree: The Democratic Party does not care about its power. In fact many of the still current leaders of the party actively believe in a strong Republican Party.
I am specifically quoting Biden with that.
"We need a Republican Party. We need an opposition that's principled and strong."
Or you could run someone who doesn't have their foot half in the grave.
