minus-squareeestileib@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoBiden is cooked. But there is so much fear/exhaustion/disgust with Trump we are still in the margin of error. Imagine if the Democrats ran somebody that anybody was actually positively excited about. But that is not how the DNC works.
minus-squaredraneceusrex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoIn 2024, who would that be? Who would you be excited about?
minus-squareHaleHirsute@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoHow about, oh I don’t know, 62 as your ceiling. 50 is young as heck in that environment.
minus-squareeestileib@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI’d rather vote for Bernie or Newsom, personally.

minus-squaredistantsounds@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoFunny, my ballot only had one name you could pick.
minus-squareToastypickle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoYep, and I didn’t even vote for him then. Wish more people had done the same to show the party how unenthusiastic we were about it.
minus-squaregravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year agoI did “uncommitted” back on Super Tuesday, and I would vote that way again if the primary was held again in my state today. I will still go vote for whoever is “not Trump” in November.
