A message to wavering Democrats (lemmy.sdf.org)

I know that it's popular to dismiss President Biden. I get it. He's old. This is the first election featuring the 2 oldest candidates, ever. So what? The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election. To boot Biden from the ticket and try to bootstrap another candidate is madness. Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP will succeed is like firing the cook and hoping the dishwasher will give you Michelin-quality food. Stick with the old man, and figure out a way to enact his popular policies while also expanding the Supreme Court, enacting term limits and limiting "Christian" Nationalists.

OK, so you can criticize real good. What's your actual, legal plan to switch Democratic candidates at such a late date? Everyone loves to criticize Biden and play fantasy football about who they would pick, but as near as I can tell, the only other person who could legally be chosen is Kamala Harris.

Who is already on the ticket and will take over if something does happen to Biden. Oh, and if you think putting a black, female candidate up against Trump is suddenly going to win hearts and minds, then I have a Nigerian prince I'd like to put you in touch with for a small finders fee.

Actually, I am pretty sure this is a Russian bot account anyway, but what the heck, let's see what your response is.

You blueannon dullards really think everyone you argue with is a bot huh? Its that hard for you to imagine someone not enthused for the diet fash party? And if I am real I bet I'm the one in the echo chamber too aren't I?

No, but if you're not voting for whoever the Dem candidate is, you're the one promoting fascism and an end to worker rights at this juncture, so… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The democrats are also a fascist, anti worker party. It's pathetic that this good cop bad cop routine works on you every time. You have no ability to see beyond the one stage managed false dilemma put immediately in front of you, nor to remember the one before. It's like you have no object permanence.
