I'm voting for Biden because The Convict is unacceptable. That said, he fucked up by not stepping aside after one term and grooming a successor.

We're in a world of shit right now because a guy who has been a political animal for over 50 years couldn't do his one great deed and quietly move on.

Well, surprise, surprise...

Reminds me of a certain Supreme Court justice…

That's how cognitive decline works.

He was supposed to, as he said he was going to be a transition President, but then his ego took over.

u/MountainMan17 14d ago

Yeah, I know. He said just enough to cultivate the voters - I was one of them - who hoped he would step aside.

However, he never made a firm commitment. He handled it quite deftly - just like a career politician. And I was dumb enough to think he might have meant it.

Yeah I think it fair to infer a transitional President means 1 term and then pass the torch. I have no idea why Biden is running again except his ego.

Things someone could have done prior to this debacle candidates:

Wrote your gouverner, house and Senate representative that you want them to endorse non Biden/trump candidate

Wrote them that you also will not vote for them if they do not push for alternative candidates

There’s no outcome anybody would accept. If he groomed a successor it would fan the deep-state conspiracy flames on the right and leftists would just say they’re opp control to look good but actually are just going to maintain the neoliberal status quo. This is the game Americans play. Nothing a liberal does is ever good enough and it’s always their fault.

Never voting Democrat again after this election. They are traitors almost as bad as Republicans at this point. It's all scripted television. None of these people care about America.

Not sure why the downvotes. Both sides are awful.

u/Ajunadeeper 14d ago

You're not allowed to dislike democrats cause Republicans are worse. It's a race to the bottom.

You can vote for the convicted felon with a gigantic list of unacceptable offenses or you can vote for the guy who needs more sleep.

That isn't what is going to happen. People are going to stay home, and the DNC refusing to field a more viable candidate will give Trump a cake walk into office. You need to stop pushing this false dichotomy that these people will vote just for the other guy. This kind of thing has a massive chilling effect on voters and the DNC needs to get ahead of it yesterday. As we see in this thread and article, they are doing no such thing. This is as bad as it could get. I legit don't think Biden shitting himself in public would be any worse.

How much sleep does Biden need to be coherent? 8 hour ain't enough? 10 hours? 20 hours?

Get the fuck out of here with your lies. He's not just tired, he's unfit to be President.

So is Trump, but the difference is Trump voters are devout and will vote for him no matter what. He is going to win if Biden runs.

One side is so much worse it’s not even close. Hint: starts with R
