Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Its been clear from his governance and campaigning over the last 3 months, he'd rather be running as the Republican nominee. He's made, frankly, the dumbest angling and positioning on issues in perhaps the last 50 years of modern politics.
Those continuing to promote Biden as the the only choice for nominee are asking to hand you 4 more years of Trump. Biden can't win at this point without effectively taking a 180 degree stance to every decision he's made since August of last year, and even then, its not clear he stands a chance.
Continuing to advocate for Biden as the nominee with the data we have is equivalent advocating for a Trump presidency at this point, and you can't pretend that someone didn't tell you so, white liberals.
If you are continuing to push for Biden as the nominee at this point, and we get Trump, its on you.
Please identify the candidate with the fundraising, name ID, and campaign staff to win a presidential election that's 8 months away.
THAT. CANDIDATE. DOES. NOT. EXIST. Biden is the nominee. Trump is the nominee. It's not a matter of willpower or politics at this point. Time is a limiting factor. If you don't want Trump elected support Biden. If you can't bring yourself to support the obvious lesser evil then get out of the way and stop proposing shit that is mechanically impossible to achieve in order to make yourself feel better.
He's not gonna win dude. He's a Zionist from way back.
His fundraising, his name ID, his campaign staff: they factor in to him currently losing.
If you want to win, we'll need to switch it up.
Name. Give us a name. You've got all the data. Tell us the viable alternative. Or are you just cheerleading the Democrats losing? Pretty sure we know which it is.
Yep, pretty obvious which. Even when they try to pretend to be liberal or progressive they can't help but throw in their coded talking points.

I don't want Biden. Nobody I know wants Biden. All my friends are voting uncommitted now but will hold their noses and vote for whoever is most likely to beat Trump in the general. It's a pathetic situation.
Guess what situation you'll be in come 2028?
NH kept going progressive in primaries, now they don't have primary delegates.
DNC says until republicans change NH state law, they're not going to get delegates again.
No one seemed to give a shit. Dont take future primaries for granted.
Depending on your states voting history, this could be your last.
A certain group of bears have been telling y'all this for months on here. But apparently they are all shills and bots here to undermine democracy or something. Sigh.
Obviously you personally seem to get it. But the general stance of Lemmy has been incredibly smooth brained.
What are you suggesting? That we vote Biden in the primary?
