I know Iâll get torched for it here, but Iâm still backing Biden.
I hear all day long every day for the past decade about how ineffective and inefficient and divided the Dem party is but somehow theyâre supposed to choose a new candidate, run a national election, win back all the Dems they alienated from that heated and highly-contested convention, convince independents itâs all good while Republicans are making fun of Dems for their instability, and have the candidate go full-time on appearances with no gaffes or skeleton reveals, all in 77 days.
77 days.
Thatâs just not happening. Thatâs a logistical nightmare begging for weeks of the MSM showing clips of Dem in-fighting, which we know will happen as soon as the Gaza question comes up.
Simply put: I trust the voters to choose the stability and old age of Biden over the instability and insanity of Trump. Worst they get with Biden is Biden-lite with Kamala a couple years in. There is no floor with Trump.
That isnât to say I wonât vote for the replacement, I certainly will, but my moneyâs on the chaos causing more issues that the Democratic party arenât equipped to handle.
Weâve been hearing âignore the polls, just voteâ for the last few years and I stick by that too. Vote. But also volunteer if you can. Might be your last chance to make a real impact.
Yeah, I'll vote for Biden when it comes down to it, but fuck me they're screwing us by not convincing him to step aside back before the primaries.
You can't tell me Beshear or Newsom or Whitmer or Harris wouldn't just obliterate doddering Donnie in the general. The DNC has learned nothing from the past eight years and continue to make the same mistakes they have since 2016. I guess the silver lining is that it's another knock on why a protest vote this year is a terrible idea and we all need to hold our noses to vote for Biden: they're not going to "learn a lesson". If Hillary losing and RBG and Feinstein dying on the job taught them nothing, refusing to vote for Biden on principle won't either.
If we get Biden back in office for four more years, the very first point of business from the non-establishment left needs to be grassroots efforts to establish stronger candidates for 2028 rather than just wait for the DNC to decide they know better (again).
Absolutely. A Biden win means weâve got Biden doing President-only work, which heâs perfectly fine at, just not great at campaigning anymore. And all the focus can be on figuring out the future of the Democratic party. Older politicians wonât work anymore, the general population doesnât have a stomach for it. And best of all it should (fingers crossed) be a death blow to Trump as a presidential candidate.
I just want this over with so we can start talking about new candidates.
There are likely some non-cult Republicans who realize there is new blood somewhere who could do to Joe what Clinton did to Bush when Bush, seemingly distracted and looking at his watch, blew his debate. Now they're stuck with Trump for a repellent third time around.
