    I’ll say it to I’m blue in the face:

    Either party can guarantee victory by running literally anyone except Biden or trump.

    *Obviously not Hillary tho

    If Biden steps down, trump is toast if he stays.

    If trump steps down, there goes Biden’s entire campaign.

        Hillary with Joe as VP, then in 2028 they’ll say it has to be Hillary again because for some reason no one under 70 has enough experience…

        I just like reminding myself that it can always be worse.

        The pro-trump crazies aren’t the majority of the Republican party anymore.

        One of them literally just shot him a couple days ago in case you haven’t heard…

          this is an underappreciated truth, but they quite clearly control the party. the dems need to give a reason for a solid majority of people to get off their asses and vote - apparently the threat of a literal fucking fascist takeover isnt quite enough.

          “I’m not trump!” is typical dem fantasy BS at this point. the maga crazies taste blood and are about to frenzy feed.

            Moderate Dems don’t represent the Dem party either. But they control it.

            Both parties are controlled by the most rightwing factions, even tho most of the voters don’t like it.

            So we end up with most people voting against someone and not for anyone.

            That’s how we end up with 2/3s if the country not being happy if either of the two main parties win.

      Why are you so certain that people would instantly vote for a new candidate more than the incumbent president? I have only seen polls saying the exact opposite.

      Regardless, time is ticking out. If a new candidate is gonna have time to build any sort of support or momentum, they need to get started yesterday and hit the ground running, the election is just getting closer.

        An incumbent with what? A 34% approval rating?

        Biden isn’t a normal incumbent he’s literally a historically unpopular incumbent…

        And for months now polls have been showing a smaller gap between almost anyone else and trump.

        Like, do you not understand this is Biden with the campaign and DNC behind him versus people who can’t even say they’re thinking about running yet?

        You don’t think that would give them even a 5% boost?
