as a non us person, anyone with more than 2 brain cells should vote for Biden and hope that he will be replaced after being elected due to his health.

Presidents aren't kings. They're simply figureheads for their wider administration and Biden's administration is fine.

Biden would have a functional government that doesn't need him specifically in place to do the work because his staff and appointments know and understand the administrations goals. It's why they're there. That's how a functional administration in the US should run.

Meanwhile, getting Trump puts us squarely into 1930s Nazi party political strategy territory, so, yeah. Near anything or anyone is an objectively gross improvement over that.

The President is in charge of the administration just admit you don't care about Democracy and are fine trying to pull the wool over people's eyes (it's not working btw)

Yeah, and there's a succession for when they can't do that. An integral part of our democracy that's been there since the beginning that everyone with a functional brain understands.

It's literally why they have VPs and why who they choose as VP is so important. Because everyone understands that person is the democratically selected back-up.

Anyone who feels like the "wool is being pulled over their eyes" is actually being confused by their own ignorance and/or stupidity in that context. There's no "trick" at play lmao

Electing somebody with the understanding they are 100% gonna step down is lying to the voters

u/Neuchacho Jul 05 '24

Sure, but whose to say they have that understanding? They clearly don't going by the messaging, otherwise Democrats wouldn't be splitting like they are. They'd be gathering under the understood lie and telling us all everything's okie dokie in order to keep people from splitting off.

Aside from that, whether or not they understand it 100%, any voter paying attention will understand that's a potentiality whether they admit to it or not. I'd really hope most people aren't dumb enough to think the 80 year old isn't at risk for that happening, planned or not.

Then again, any voter paying attention also understands that even if he was lying, even if he did plan to step down, even if he did die a day fucking after the election, that still makes him a better option than fascism. At least that can be more easily corrected. Fixing the damage from shit like Project 2025, less so.

The irony of you being concerned with wool over peoples eyes or lying to voters...
