People down voting facts they don't like is giving me flashbacks to 2016...
Ignoring that polls show Biden is one of the worst candidates to go against trump isn't going to suddenly make Bidens chances improve.
It's just wasting the shrinking window of time we have to run a better candidate.
Yeah I've been saying the same. Trump didn't win an election, Hillary lost one. And polls are showing young people don't want Biden same as they did for Hillary.
The only saving grace is there's a full month between the RNC and DNC.
So if Trump's legal woes eliminate him from contention, and the convention nominates someone else, that gives Joe a full month to step aside and let a better candidate step in.
The problem with that scenario is the D's in power will push Harris, who is a WORSE candidate than Biden.
that gives Joe a full month to step aside and let a better candidate step in.
What?
Biden said he's only running because trump is, but also claimed 50 other Dems could easily beat trump
And despite Bidens abysmal poll numbers, he's not stepping aside to give the party their best shot against trump.
He's not stepping aside. If he really just wanted to prevent trump from winning, he wouldn't be running again.
He just knows the best reason normal American have for voting Biden, is he's not trump.
Biden doesn't stand a chance against anyone else, and like Hillary he's willing to gamble America on it because he wants to be president.
I don't see a single scenario where Biden is not running unless he dies before the election. And that's pretty unlikely despite his age.
Biden's actions speak louder than his words. He's running despite knowing others poll better.
As a member of the current media boogeyman group who is facing legal bans from receiving life-saving care: Can we please get our shit together? I get it, it doesn't feel good to vote for a candidate who does bad things. You know what's worse? De facto electing someone who does that same shit to a worse degree, who also does literally everything else wrong. I voted Stein in 2016 and have regretted it ever since. It didn't make anything better. I don't even feel like I "stuck it to the Dems". We all just suffered as a result. Please don't make my mistake.
In America you get a choice between a bad government and a worse government.
You do not get another choice.
Yes, it sucks. Yes, we are slowly circling the drain. Yes, bad things will continue to happen because that's what America does.
So do you want a bad government or a worse government?
To the extent its even true its going to be a FAFO type deal for them, I expect. Maybe we'll learn this time /s
