You don’t vote for the candidate, you vote for the cause. The people excited to vote for Kamala Harris now were perfectly fine to let democracy die a few weeks ago, and thus far I’ve seen no substantive difference in her policies as compared to Biden, it’s basically a continuation of the status quo. She has a better “argument” to make for abortion rights because she’s a woman vs Biden being an old white guy, but he’s still done more for workers than Harris can claim to have done. Maybe she’ll scold Israel a bit more than Biden did, but she seems more in line with Hilary Clinton than anything. I’m ready to vote against the fascists no matter who the Democrats put up, corpse or not. Even if he had died in office, the presidency still would’ve gone to Harris anyways, so it shouldn’t have mattered his age.
When everyone is saying democracy is at stake, why would I vote for a near-corpse who doesn’t care about the result as long as he “tries his best”?
Pressuring Biden out of the race and replacing him with someone who will actually fight shows that Democrats are finally serious about this election and the threat Trump poses.
slight change in aesthetics? this take is more surface level than actually voting for the color of a candidate’s skin.
if democracy is on the line, you better act like it. putting a corpse up as your candidate ain’t it.
