    Again, we have to reiterate here: I have already said I plan on voting for Biden for now, and yet you’ve been batting for genocide and “uhm akshually-ing” about how Biden is good and should stay in the race, despite 54% of Democrat voters wanting him to drop out.

    He’s cooked.

      And they will want him to stay in two weeks, if he doesn’t do a silly in one news cycle.

      I never said Biden is good, I didn’t even contest your statement that he’s “right wing”.

      I just said that the other guy is much worse. Hence any statement criticizing Biden on topic xyz without mentioning that trump is ackshually much worse on that topic, is pushing your country to the right even further. Imagine a SCOTUS with 5 or 6 trump justices.

      Anyway, it’s your country, not mine. I’m moderately satisfied with the political choices I made.

        This is all vibes with no actual analysis, lol. Dems and their voters want them to drop.

            He’s always doing “a silly,” 100 Palestinians were murdered yesterday. His mental capacity is night and day different from 2020, which was already night and day from 2008/2012.

            Even if the majority want him to stay (which is wrong for now), there are still a huge number of people disengaged by him. Do you think swapping him out would hurt the DNCs chances?

              Yes, I do think that. There will be chaos, infighting and accusations of anti-democratic behavior.

              Which might be moot, given the events yesterday.

                Why would it be “anti-democratic behavior” if the majority want him to step down?

                It’s even worse now that Trump pulled the best PR of his life yesterday.

                  Because the primaries are over. The rest is polling which is a private exercise, not even a semblance of oversight. The democrats had a chance to speak and they spoke 90% in favor of Biden. There is no do-overs in the process.

                  Take a look at the UK and post-brexit remorse. Sucks, but once you vote you accept the consequences.

                    Gotcha, so the will of the people doesn’t matter to you, optics does. Can’t think of a more worthless way to view politics, to he honest.
