minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink48•2 months 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-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish43•2 months agoFunny, my ballot only had one name you could pick.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink22•2 months 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-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-22 months 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.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink19•2 months agoNo prominent Democrat would dare challenge Biden before he drops out for fear of party retaliation. The two party system is the real issue here. Until we abolish it our best hope is things don’t get worse because they won’t get better.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•2 months agoIn 2024, who would that be? Who would you be excited about?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 months agoHow about, oh I don’t know, 62 as your ceiling. 50 is young as heck in that environment.
