    I thought the 2016 Bernie debacle was enough of a learning moment for the Democrats, yet 8 years go so long for memory lane. Biden is barely functional, anyone with old grandparents know how fast things accelerate, how is he even going to last 5 more years with that mental capacity? Isn’t this at the end blind party loyalty, the same thing the republicans are criticized for? I guess rules for thee but not for me.

      Yep - if you are for Biden after that debate you’re just Blue MAGA, he is unfit for office at this point. That’s not a “bad night” , that’s an old man. I cant even believe these news articles, its outrageous. I basically support the guy and after that debate I don’t know how I cam cast a vote of confidence that he can do the job. We’re fucked.

        One does not need to vote for biden, one only needs to vote against trump. It is unfortunate that those are the same.

          But more people want to vote against trump than want to vote Biden.

          And everyone voting Biden wants to vote against Trump.

          Logically, to get the most votes, wed run a better candidate than Biden to maximize odds of stopping trump…

          Like, you get that right?

          Biden and the DNC is asking tens of millions of voters to vote for someone they don’t want because stopping trump is so important. But refuse to step aside to help stop trump.

          That’s not us working together to stop trump.

          It’s Biden and the DNC holding the entire country hostage with the threat of trump if we don’t elect someone we don’t want.

          Which just hurts Biden’s chances of stopping trump even more, and shows that even if he wins, he’s just going to do whatever the fuck he wants like continue to violate US and international law. Which is why:

          But more people want to vote against trump than want to vote Biden.

          If Biden really cared most about stopping Trump, he’d fucking retire.

        If he gets elected I’m not worried. He can die or be puppeted by his staff and things will be roughly as ok as they are now. I’m worried he won’t get elected.
