    I vote for the party and it’s [sic] beliefs, not the man.

    Which beliefs? That compromising with fascism is the best way to deal with it? That the best way to move this country forward is to continually offer a “lesser evil”? That occasional lip-service to not being bigots is enough to distract us from the burning planet and infinitely yawning chasm between the owner class and the workers?

      Do you have any clue what has actually been done in the past 4 years, or would you like me to list out some stuff? Cause if you read more into politics besides “the man’s old!” he’s been doing quite a bit for the American people

      Also, if you can name a better candidate right now we would maybe be able to discuss that. But everyone is just saying ‘someone needs to replace him’ without any real answer. We all agree this isn’t ideal. But there is no genuine better solution IMHO

        Harris. Easy answer. Already has name recognition, already has been planning to take over as President (if even a single Democratic advisor isn’t brain-dead), and scares the Republicans because she’s a woman and black. Sure, she’s a cop, but there aren’t any good options in the Democratic Party, and she won’t put up with Trump’s shit.

        And isn’t past retirement age. Of course she wouldn’t have universal support, but I doubt there’s any Democrat who could have less support than Biden right now.

        As for all the things Biden has done, I have heard of a few trivial steps in the right direction his administration has done. That’s great. Why isn’t he focusing on them in his campaign? Ignore the Toupee. Tell us what empty promises his administration is going to make. Nearly every sentient being is a better option than the Toupee, that’s not a compelling reason to vote for Biden, that’s just a reason to vote for anything else.

          So you want to throw the party into chaos and give the enemy ammo just to elect the person that’s almost guaranteed to be in charge anyway? That seems pointless. A vote for Biden is a vote for Harris now anyway.
