I'm all ears, who would be the better candidate? Because I want that person running for Senate in all the states that might be up for grabs.
The president won't matter if we lose control of the Senate AND the house. Well either be fucked or stuck in a deadlock like we are now
Literally anybody
You think Kamela Harris has a better chance of beating Trump?
Believe it or not, the Dems can put forth a completely new person..
You said literally anybody. Was that not true?
Random tangent aside, sure, yes she would have a better chance. Biden is 1000 years old and the Zooms are not about his buddy-buddy-MIC stance. Biden will not beat a Trump rematch.
Zoomers don't matter. Young people don't vote. Elections are decided by adults, and the average age of high political activity in America is from the 50 And over crowd.
Lol
Biden is all of 3 years older than Trump and more coherent than Trump was 20 years ago. It's such a bizarre fixation.
And you think Harris has a better shot when she literally has the lowest rating of any VP in the history of NBC News polls? When she consistently polls lower than Biden? When Mike Pence who was literally threatened with hanging by his own supporters had a higher approval rating? Get real.
The people who plug their ears at the notion of going 3rd party are the same dorks who got "blindsided" when Trump won in 2016.
If the Dems run Biden, I genuinely think it will be Trump. I do not want it to be Trump.
Enough of the older lemmy crowd seem to ignore the fact that the zooms have like 8-9(?) years of eligible voters who are all decently pissed about the middle east. We keep seeing record turnouts amongst the youth each/every year. So like...I just hate to see that most of the responses were of the "who tf cares what they do? they won't vote either way" is lame as shit.
If you genuinely all think this is gunna be a slam dunk for Biden, why not run a different/younger candidate? If anybody can beat Trump, why Biden specifically? I'm only 3rd party if it's Biden again, not a threat. I just can't reasonably vote for him or Trump. I won't do it.
Tell Joe to pass on the torch to somebody w/ an active pulse and I'll take the DNC a bit more seriously.. Obviously pushing to the right isn't fucking working because the other dorks are voting R regardless.
Give me a real candidate. Anybody under the age 59 (fuck you Kamala) and you've got my vote.
I will say it again and again until it sinks in. The options are Biden or Trump. There is no third option. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been paying attention.
reductionist stupidity
