Let’s compare that to “Dr. Trump” who would tell you people say he’s the best doctor, the best surgeon, the other doctor is a stupid poopy head who can’t golf, then no-show for your lifesaving operation and say only suckers and losers get cancer. But he’d still take your money.

Pretty sure the other doctor would straight up kill me. Hmmm tough choice.

[-] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

The other guy is actively googling how much different organs sell for on the black market.

What a shame that no one can convince either of these doctors to step down for a younger, more capable doctor. Guess we'll just die.

[-] Freefall@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Right? If the other doctor brought in a bunch of fishermen and a stockbroker, and a radio host, and a mime to help with the surgery and said "I saw this on TV once and I am an expert" then started up a chainsaw....I'd worry a little and take the other guy.

[-] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 8 points 6 days ago

I feel it's more like the other guy is actually a barber who happens to have a meat pastry shop on the floor below his ~~butcher~~ barbershop

[-] faceula@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Yeah he really would, could you imagine. "Ok I'm just going to inject the painkiller... Oh I mean bleach, ah no matter it'll still clean out any COVID you have"

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 5 points 6 days ago

If only there were hundreds of other doctors that could step in.

These non-voter apologists are just Trumpers in donkey clothing.

Notice they always have to neg him in a vacuum, because once he is juxtaposed to Trump, he looks like the best parts of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams put together.

They will say or do anything to suppress the vote.

Great, Biden's not perfect, he is also a million fucking percent better than the alternative.

Are you implying that the Washington bureau chief of the intercept is a Trump toady?

Sure... but if we're talking about the presidency, it's more like we're choosing a Dean of Medicine, rather than the surgeon who's going to be doing the operation.

Don't get me wrong, I would prefer not to have to deal with an 81 year old Dean who had some good days and some really bad ones. But, ultimately, the Dean of Medicine's most important job is hiring good doctors and then delegating to them. It's a rare occasion when you know ahead of time who the Dean's team will be... but in this case we've seen both options as Dean, and we know that only one of the two is planning to hire Dr. Nick Riviera and Zoidberg.

I'm not American and have only brief idea of how US elections work, but.. damn this gets more and more ridiculous every day. I'm not saying Trump is better or anything, that dude is batshit crazy egomaniac, but... But... you're saying there are no other options like if there was only one available candidate from the whole blue party? Or is it impossible (or too late) to switch candidate now? I'm confused.

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world -2 points 4 days ago

Biden can resign and hand it over to anyone else. He's decided he wants to stay in the race even though he clearly has some neurological issues.

[-] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Is it him who has to hand it over? Or is it possible for blue party to say "Hey, Joe, enough is enough" and substitute him for "health reasons"?

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world -1 points 4 days ago

Both can happen. The party loyalists didn't want to go against him for their own political careers. The GOP and Dems will push you out if you go against them.

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 18 points 6 days ago

The Democrats are digging their own electoral grave. It's okay to preach about voting Biden on Lemmy, but it won't count for anything when masses of real world voters decline to vote for him on account of the constant self-harming of the dems.

A half decent candidate would tank Trump.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 7 points 6 days ago

A half decent candidate would tank Trump.

I heard this excuse in 2016 with Hilary.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Hilary sucked. she just expected to win, like it was her turn. fuck that, bring something to the table instead of just a name. trump won because it was a show for him and idiots ate it up. Hilary played her "better than thou" card and got wrecked.

Hillary didn't rise to that level.

[-] the_doktor@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

Too late to change the system now if you play the voting game. Elect Biden and the rest of the Democrats who will NOT turn the USA into a fascist state in the next four years, THEN start enacting real change to put a genuine Left candidate in that will actually push this country forward when they're elected in four years.

If you want to play the voting game, that's how you play. The only other alternative is revolution and enable the "alter or abolish" option right the fuck now.

Make your choice of those two things. The "lol, I won't vote" or "gonna vote Trump anyway" "option" is just alt-right Trumpery disguised as being concerned about a second Biden presidency for any reason.

Let's be fucking real here. The party head figures will be running the white house if biden gets in.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 days ago

Still better than Trump, anything is better than Trump.

Is that ok? No. Is this a "you you want one bullet in the head or two bullets?" Yeah, pretty much though the the two bullets will first shoot you in the balls for fun. Chose one bullet, please

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I am not saying the party running the white house is the worse option, of that or biden, nor am I implying that trump would be better, by any means.

[-] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

That wouldnt be so bad, but people vote for brands, not policy or administration

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Yeah, I will at least know what to expect, and not have to worry about them speeding running the creation of a fascistic theocracy.
