      Do you think Biden should drop out and be replaced by a Dem who could do better in the polls? I’m not pretending you have any power I’m sure someone as feckless as you doesn’t. But you’re the type to insist that he should stay in the race despite losing in the polls right?

        Absolutely.

        But you’re the type to insist that he should stay in the race despite losing in the polls right?

        Based on what?

          My bad than Friendly Fire same team. Lmao

          Really hate being called a tanky by libs. I assumed you were one of those right wingers who are defending Biden to help Trump win. You know the kind of left-wing moderate who are so moderate that you makes you wonder if they’re just Republicans.

            And I really hate when “Leftists” roll up to a discussion about the merits of making a choice at the ballot box to snarkily tell people that the magical solution is actually to just do something that’s outside of their control.

            It’s really telling how many people got pissed off thinking this meme was about them just because it includes the word tankie. Start holding the people like the one in the meme accountable instead of making wild assumptions and hurling insults.

              I wonder why socialists who live under a government that did things like the Red Scare would be offended by people punching left than using derogatory terms for socialists like tankie.

              To be clear you should not punch left that’s something that fascists do.

                So you have nothing to say about Leftists pushing for Biden to lose to Trump, but god forbid someone uses the word tankie in a meme.

                Glad to see your priorities are in order.

                    Literally a screenshot of it in the OP.

                    Objection@lemmy.ml is also in this very thread, and pushing the same thing.

                    Keep your eyes closed, I guess.

        Yet fools like you say this, but don’t offer any suggestions. Tell me, who do you think could replace Biden on the ballot now and stand a chance of winning?

        I’m just waiting for the bullshit “literally anyone else” as an answer.

          Gavin newsome Gretchen whitmore Anyone under 70 who isn’t a fascist

          I’m sure you’re going to say they don’t have the name recognition and completely ignore the fact that that news would be so big it would make someone anyone including me or your mom one of the most famous people on the planet. Outside of that all they’d need to do is be able to string a sentence together better than the corpse of Biden.

          Was that enough information for you to understand? I’m used to people being able to think on their own 😏

        Biden has a VP that can take over and a whole administration to take care of things.

        And there’s nobody else but his own VP who even have a chance, and might as well stay as Biden’s VP instead of introducing a new random person to the national vote. If Biden gives in before the end of the next term she’ll be the next president anyway

          Biden has a VP that can take over

          But she won’t. She needs a Senatorial fossil at the top of the ticket, because he’s the “only one” who can beat Trump. Nevermind the polls. Nevermind his dismal debate performance. Nevermind the ample evidence of his cognitive decline. Kamala Harris is DOA in 2024. Only Biden can win.

          Look if I thought bye and could win I wouldn’t care if he kills over or not I just don’t want Trump in there and Biden is losing in the polls.

          Trump has routinely been underestimated by the poles in the past see 2016 and how 2020 was closer than we anticipated.

          This idea that there’s nobody besides Kamala Harris that would have a chance as ridiculous. Biden and Kamal are some of the two most unlikeable candidates we’ve ever had. Looks at the polls.

          I would prefer a much farther left candidate than either of these but Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmore would both do immensely better against Trump Biden would.
