I’m voting for whoever the D is, even if it’s a fucking corpse. Brandon should fuck off. Christ on a shitstick, the election is going to hinge on voters at the margins, those fucking morons who can’t decide between an obvious traitor and a declining, yet vastly superior, democratic president. They are the asscunts in whose hands our collective future lies. Brandon isn’t going to save us. Sad as it is, it remains for some charismatic figure to win over those fucking idiots and save the Republic.
how we get shitty choices
people bend over to take it without even asking for their hair to be pulled or some lube or foreplay and beg for more while their ass gapes and bleeds
neither Trump nor Biden have any business in this race and it goes to show that US voting is nothing more than bread and circuses
when has any actual progress happened?
women’s right’s, worker’s rights including living wages, healthcare, environmental policies, police reform, tax reform, education reform
none of this happened the whole of Biden term in office nor in Obama’s or any democrat before that so why would they do anything different now
if all people care about are letters and colors why even have an election we can all just go back to kindergarten while the country burns
And hopefully the voters in the margins will refuse to vote for him, why would they support the people that are keeping them marginalized?
Because the only other possible outcome to voting D will be so much worse?
That a DNC problem, they knew Biden was a potato and still refused to primary him.
You advocate electing trump on principle to teach the dnc a lesson?
Yeah, there are a lot of them on here. Ignore the past ten times electing the right-wing candidate didn’t work to sway the DNC to go left, THIS time, with Mr. Day-One-Dictator it’ll totally work out. /s
They you people should have done your damn job and held him accountable instead of going to brunch and ignoring what’s going on.
Oh please you’re sitting here whining from the sidelines like everyone else.
We have 4 options: vote Trump, vote Biden, vote third-party/independent, don’t vote. What do you want us to do come November?
Some in this thread think that ‘chaos’ would emerge if the party replaced Biden and that would hurt the party’s chance of defeating trump. You are correct that there would be a media frenzy, and weeks of exhaustive, drama chasing coverage. It would absolutely dominate the media narrative, and be pounded into the entire voting population’s psyche. You know what else? That would be a wonderful, wonderful thing. It would totally disarm trump’s ability to drive the media narrative for much of the rest of the election. Whatever deficit that exists of national awareness for the new candidate would be erased very quickly. That candidate would be gifted months of desperate, free, media coverage. It’s actually a great strategy. That being the case, I’m sure the DNC and the party elders will never attempt something so obviously effective since they are terrible at politics and their cowardly approaches to both campaigns and governing are ultimately the reason our democracy is in such an existential crisis to begin with.
The thing that makes folks pull their hair out is that we’ve known Biden has been sundowning for years. But in the run up to the 2024 primaries, we got this endless bullshit gaslighting of “Actually I think he’s at the top of his game, never better!” articles coming out of the Dem establishment and Dem-friendly media.
So he ran virtually uncontested. And then he spent three months doing photo-ops with Dark Brandon laser eyes, trying to get people pumped up for November. And then he explicitly demanded a debate with Trump before the conventions were even held. And then this shit happened.
Now there’s no normal democratic mechanism to pick a replacement candidate. So we’re either stuck with Biden or we get some smoke-filled room full of superdelegates and mega-donors to make the decision. And that’s what will fuck up the Dems’ chances in November. You’re talking about putting a guy on the ballot who never even went through the primary. Someone whose sole qualification was Biggest Insider Suck-Up. Someone who will have to square off against a legitimately popular candidate in a year when “Democracy is on the line!” is a thing the Democrats are asserting.
It’s actually a great strategy.
Its a fucked strategy, because the easiest line of attack on this new person is “Who the fuck is this asshole and why didn’t they compete in a primary back in January?”
I’m sure the DNC and the party elders will never attempt something so obviously effective since they are terrible at politics
Holding a coronation rather than a primary was the DNC’s big mistake. Now its too late. There are no savvy brilliant moves left to play. You’re stuck with this lame duck through November.
For one, Biden would have to willingly give up the nomination in order to release delegates already pledged to him.
Factually not true…
The DNC can rewrite the rules before the convention and nominate anyone they want.
As their lawyers have told judges, they’re a private organization that can name anyone as the candidate. That was their defense for accusations that they already rig primaries.
A second problem is the public doesn’t know any other Democrat nearly as well as they know Biden, and it would be difficult to introduce someone to the public at this late date without them being defined by Donald Trump, the Republicans and Fox News in the worst possible ways.
Literally anyone that becomes the Dem nominee will have nationwide name recognition in 24 hours.
The most common reason for voting Biden is “to stop trump” so any replacement shares the most important quality Dem voters want that Biden actually meets.
Like, sure, this would have been so much easier if we had an actual primary and the people closest to Biden hadn’t spent four years hiding him and lying about his mental capabilities. But they didn’t. They kept repeating it was too late for anyone except Biden.
They’re still saying it, but it’s still not true.
They had a primary in 2020.
Biden won.
When was the last time there were primaries for a party with an incumbent president?
When was the last time we had a dicking potato running the country? It’s like everything we’re seeing now is the Biden that’s always been, and that’s what the DNC chose to push on us
We don’t have a potato running the country.
Unfortunately he’s not even that good
He’s amazing compared to the competition.
We should be concentrating on getting a young nominee in for the next election.
Liberal should elect Trump and push him left after the election
This is how I know you’re having a good faith discussion and not trolling.
Did we not watch the same debate?
I get it, you dislike Biden.
I dislike all POS politicians that serve capital.
Yes, the DNC can change the rules whenever they want. But when your party is supposed to be putting a priority on Protecting Democracy, it’s a bad look to then say “Yeah, we held a bunch of uncontested elections which we are now ignoring the result of”.
You’re missing the context…
They’ve been saying they don’t need to abide by the will of the voters because they’re a private party.
And they’re right
So when they say they can’t use their power to give voters want they want because they’re impartial…
It’s obviously bullshit.
They’re going to do what they want
Good points. However, I would argue that the DNC would absolutely fuck up picking a new nominee. They would pick some “centrist” unlikeable democrat that would try to appeal to a moderate middle that just doesn’t exist. They would run a flaccid campaign and manage to piss off everybody trying to appeal to everybody. Republicans would absolutely capitalize on the chaos.
Right
Biden appointed Jamie Harrison, it’s very very unlikely that Jamie Harrison nominates anyone else. And if he does, it will be another moderate that names Jamie Harrison head of the DNC again.
Because the people running the DNC care more about personal political power than stopping trump.
Just like the problem with republicans isn’t just trump, it’s the people behind the scenes that also need addressed.
The problem with the DNC isn’t just Biden, it’s the people Biden put in charge of the DNC.
The party can’t survive without the voters, we’re the important part.
If the DNC refuses to acknowledge that, it won’t be the first time voters left a party behind to die without them.
At a certain point the corruption is bad enough we need to start over. It won’t be easy, but at a certain point it’s the only option.
The DNC can rewrite the rules before the convention and nominate anyone they want.
The DNC is an organization stacked with Joe Biden loyalists. And that’s before discussing the fucked vibes of an 11th hour rules rewrite on the eve of what was supposed to be a lay-up nomination. Weeks of people arguing over who gets handed the Prez nod without a single primary vote cast in their name would be an absolute disaster.
