No, you used the phrased just fine, its just stupid bullshit because Biden isn't the head of Israel and usually its bad-faith dipshits shilling that stale talking point.
"I know, if the lesser evil is bad, let's oppose it absolutely and help the greater evil get all the power!"

I actually love this model:
Biden supporters: "Unite around candidate Biden or prepare to watch Democracy die!"
Biden detractors: "You guys are nuts! That old bastard can barely put 3 sentences together. I will argue we should have a younger more vibrant candidate like Big Gretch who would wipe the floor with Trump all the way until I vote for Biden's senile ass on November 5th!"
Biden supporter: "You dumb fucks, Whitmer herself says she isn't interested and is all-in for Biden! But she'd be a great candidate and I would fully support her if Biden steps down and she was the nominee. But he won't, so pull your heads out of your asses and support him!"
Like, if we gotta argue, let's have fun with it and just vote 100% for dems top to bottom on November 5th.
Its a mistake with no real world upside.
Voting third party is the ultimate virtue signaling.
That's a short way of saying you're a dipshit.
Yup, unite or die moment for the democracy, Joe has my vote, my time, my small donations.
Besides, America has:
- Under 4% unemployment
- Record low crime rates
- Dow near 40,000
- Schedule 3 weed
- Historic student loan forgiveness programs
On substance, Biden has been a great president. On substance, Trump is a lying fascist who talks about being a dictator on day 1.
Be a substance voter, not an optics voter.
Its not a few articles. NYT has done nearly 200 articles and editorials on Biden bad debate and continued coverage of same subject/him being removed.
Like, its a full course press to push a specific narrative, they learned nothing from 2016 and the disproportionate coverage compared to Trumps authoritarianism-- both in debate and in general, is complete bullshit, a "But her emails" 2.0 being spearheaded by dogshit CNN and NYT.
I want to be clear I don't think questioning Biden is a problem--he's performed shitty lately. If you think he should be replaced, thats reasonable, ill support whoever the dem candidate is regardless.
I'm talking about endlessly covering every bit of minutia on this while generally ignoring Trumps fascism. Mainstream media is a major part of the problem.
How many years of right-wing propaganda do we have to endure to realize that the election will be close because Trumps people are in endless propaganda loops....like, he has a solid floor and democrats are all polling like 40-44%.
No one is going to wipe the floor with him because technology has been used to lock alot of people into propaganda frames.
Like, if you think he should go because of optics, ok thats your opinion, but on SUBSTANCE his presidency is strong and his polling hasn't moved much post debate in the aggregate. Like, very possibly they pivot to Kamala to get a quick bump, and then some bullshit RW talking point dominates news cycle in 3 weeks and then return to the "its gonna be tight as shit" norm. Don't fucking do all this shit because he's not up by 10 points in the polls, Jesus christ.
NYT has really become trash.
