Just completely unrealistic. The time for this type of talk was a year ago. Two years ago. There isn’t even time to get new names qualified for primaries now. This is who it is. We’re going to vote for him.
But will Biden motivate enough people to get off the couch to vote?
If the threat of a fascist dictator who’s currently liable for half a billion dollars of damages from his defamation (of his rape victim) and his decades of real estate fraud (not to mention his homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, xenophobia, insurrection and arguably straight up treason, Christ the list goes on) doesn’t get people voting then honestly, your vaunted republic deserves to fall.
Or you could vote for “literally none of that” Biden.
But hey, tricky choice, right?
So why does it matter who the Dems pull out of their asses to run against Trump? You could make the same argument for voting for literally any of them instead of Biden.
Why do articles keep pointing the blame “at democrats” like we in the party have some kind of magical control over this?
We can only vote for the motherfuckers that run. If you run, we can vote for you. If you don’t run, we can’t vote for you. So, who are we supposed to pick?
Dean Philips, the guy that talks about appeasing republicans? No. Just, fuck no.
You, you on the other side of the screen, you should run for office. Then we might have more options.
The political parties decide what the options are.
IF the political parties decide that voters have NO viable options, then … well, they don’t accept any responsibility OR any accountability, do they?
It’s everybody else’s fault.
That, right there, is why the political-party highjacking-of-countries, ought be exterminated.
Democracy meant citizens voting on the issues, not on authorities who’d, har har, “do the right thing on behalf of the citizens”.
Current technology makes that possible.
Canada can’t even get long-explicitly-promised election-reform to be enacted by the guy who promised it:
political-power IS corruption, to some fundamental extent.
That has always been the case, for millenia.
Biden is not evil. Biden is a good person bound by laws and long-standing US foreign strategic relationships.
Trump on the other hand is an absolute selfish piece of shit.
Uh… Biden has been going above and beyond what’s “required” for Israel. Even if we assume he can’t change his geopolitical strategy because of actual genocide, he’s been going so far as to bypass congress to give Israel weapons. People were found guilty for less at the Numenberg trials.
