it’s just I do know there will be people that wanted to vote exclusively Biden who will no longer vote because it wouldn’t be biden
I mean, the DNC isn't putting a progressive in the race, it's almost certainly gonna be Kamala if it happens.
If there are some who will only vote for Biden (I doubt it) I just can't see them not coalescing around the DNCs pick.
Even if they do, it'll be like 08 PUMA where it turned out to be just an incredibly vocal but tiny group
All the debate did as far as any of that goes is drive home the point that people have been trying to make from the beginning - that he is and always has been a weak and uninspiring candidate at best
And Biden knew it too, it's why the man who wouldn't shut up for decades suddenly disappeared from the public eye.
He did less than a tenth of the press conferences as the last two presidents in their first term.
If they wouldn't have been hiding him, Dem voters would have seen how bad he's gotten.
The militant Islamist group has dropped a demand that Israel first commit to a permanent ceasefire before signing the agreement, and would allow negotiations to achieve that throughout the six-week first phase, the source told Reuters on condition of anonymity because the talks are private.
Giving Israel what they asked for, and they'll still turn it down...
I would vote for anyone opposite Trump
So why argue against people trying to get a better candidate?
Conclusion: Sticking with Biden, becomes the worst chance at beating trump.
Don't worry about anything else, just look at that logic.
Can you find any flaw in it?
But just so you don't keep asking:
I’m curious, though, who is your candidate?
AOC
But again. All we're talking about who can beat Trump. And if that logic up there isn't something you disagree with, let me know. Just stripping this all down to a pure logic thing.
I'm optimistic this will work.
Rather than losing money, it's technically more correct to say that we're earning less.
The real trick is converting to purchasing power of individuals and showing the trend overtime.
Like the average/median purchasing power of an American year by year. Not just purchasing power of a dollar, but of the average salary.
Edit:
Are down votes because I didn't mention savings?
Like 50% have less than $500, over a third have less than $100
This functionally isn't a problem for most so I ignored it considering the focus is on poverty and not how I flation effects the wealthiest.
Despite negative perceptions on the state of the economy, inflation is now much lower than its June 2022 peak of 9.1 percent.
I can never get past economic articles that miss the fundamental issue with "but inflation rates are lower!" card.
Like, the price never went down, it just started increasing faster for a while, and is now slowing down. But it's still increasing.
Like imagine if you went from 0-60 in 2 seconds in an Uber, so you say "slow down". So the driver takes 2 more seconds to go from 60-100.
The rate of acceleration slowed down, but the past acceleration doesn't just magically disappear.
Biden sucks. He really does. But I’m still voting for him, because Trump would be worse
This is what most voters likely to vote Biden say.
But for you, would you say there's any Dem that you wouldn't vote for?
Do you think that answer is common among people willing to vote for Biden?
And shouldn't we run the person who most voters are willing to vote for because Trump is such a threat?
You do know you're in a thread about Biden stepping aside, right?
And the question was:
Why Biden instead of any other Dem
And I'm just getting responses about how Biden is better than trump.
Literally nobody here is disagreeing with that.
You're just making the case that not even Biden supporters can explain why they think he has to be the nominee. At least not a reason that's not easily disproven.
So basically...
"Shut up, drop it, or we'll fuck your lives up and leave you with student loan debt and no diploma"
It's insane that both current options for US president are pro-genocide and this is how protest is handled
Weird they don't blame Israel for soliciting funds from other countries for Hamas...
Or blame Israel for not letting them hold elections to replace Hamas...
Really, anyone that has issues with Hamas, should take them up with Israel. Israel is the only reason Hamas exists in a couple different ways
"Project 2025 should scare every single American," Biden said. "It would give Trump limitless power over our daily lives and let him use the presidency to enact 'revenge' on his enemies, ban abortion nationwide and punish women who have an abortion, and gut the checks and balances that make America the greatest democracy in the world."
Remember less than 24 hours ago Biden said he wouldn't really care if trump won as long as Biden felt he "tried his best"?
Logical consistency is a big deal for Dem voters but Biden and the DNC keeps wanting to treat us like Republican voters who have the memory of goldfish and zero standards.
Go back to saying that?
When has he tried to take it back?
It's still out there because he meant it.
They're both true statement.
