    The second sentence is why you’re getting downvoted.

    Under the constraints of the system we’re forced to use to elect our politicians… there’s actually not. And yeah, I hate it too. But if it’s Biden or overt fascism, I pick Biden.

      We don’t have other options because Biden and the DNC didn’t want a primary.

      The general still hasn’t started yet, it’s still not too late.

        that’s because when political parties primary presidential incumbents, that party loses the white house. you want to put trump and his christian nationalist wet dream project 2025 in power?

        besides there’s the other fact that no other democrat was inclined to run for president, nor are any of them able to now. signature requirements to run in the super tuesday states were due last thursday iirc. so the only way biden will not be the candidate is if he has to step away from the presidency between now and the convention.

        biden is the candidate. if you have a problem with that you should have done something about that in 2016.

          Biden is losing. Trump was one of the least popular presidents in history. Biden is even more unpopular. He’s losing 5/6 battleground states that he won last time.

          You say we need Biden in order to beat Trump but Biden stands little chance against Trump.

            I’m gonna need citations for those claims. Which battleground states has he lost or is losing?
