Considering that Biden's main competitor is an actual neonazi and the USA have an undemocratic election system that disadvantages all but two parties, there's pretty much no choice but the senile grandpa who's not a neonazi.
yeah like people keep saying that there is need for someone better than biden, but at the moment he's the only option thst is valid. it's about damage control not about making everything utopia.
they complain that biden is not good enough, while completely ignoring that trump is literal neonazi. how in the fuck it is even question wheter you should vote for trump or biden because the fact is that either of them is going to the office. not some third candinate who would be actually good
As far as I can tell, his administration isn't so bad overall (granted, compared to children in cages this is a low bar to cross). It's not like he does every single job personally.
I'll vote for biden unless he drops out and a more progressive candidate presents itself, in which case I won't vote biden.
I'm normally critical of Biden but this is one of the few times I'll say it. Biden staying in the race is the best thing he can do.
It doesn't matter when he drops out at this point, the time to do that was 8 months ago. If he drops out now and there's an open convention, democrats lose in November. If he drops out after the convention, and the DNC chooses a different candidate to replace him, Democrats lose in November.
The last time anything similar happened, there were riots outside the DNC in Chicago and Hubert Humphrey safely handed the office to Richard Nixon.
Fun fact, Hilary Clinton attended the protests.
Still voting Biden, but this feels an awful lot like many past elections where people are holding their nose and voting for a candidate they don’t necessarily like just because they really don’t like the other candidate: Bush v Gore, Bush v Kerry, Clinton v Trump. Those elections never seem to turn out good.
That's exactly what this is.
Give me a viable other option, please! Biden is soggy, cold oatmeal from 4 days ago that's probably still fine. Trump is medical waste mixed with gasoline and uranium powder.
Fear seems like the go-to strategy when you have the weaker candidate. During the Obama elections, the only thing Republicans could do was try to scare people into voting for them, since they knew they couldn't beat him. The strategy turns from focusing on the strength of your own candidate to focusing on the flaws of the opposing candidate. Democrats entire strategy at this point is maximizing fear of Trump. Not sure why it's so hard for them to get rid of Biden and put up a real candidate, but it looks like a flaw in the nomination process.
Biden loses
OP blames the 5 tankies actually living in the USA for voting 3rd party
Íf he wore a clown suit and only spoke Pig-Latin during the debate.... considering the alternative
He would STILL be the only viable candidate worth voting for
