Yeah, it’s a terrible direction. I don’t see a viable path forward for Democrats now. Biden caved to pressure from fear mongers and a Trump win is looking pretty good. If I took your advice I could vote 3rd party and enjoy my smugness while I watch a new fascist regime take hold.
Or you could have spoken your honest mind months ago, and if enough people had done the same, then we could have gotten someone younger than 80 in there long ago. The thing is, so many people mindlessly worshiped biden as a superhero because he wore a blue tie, and that’s what pushed him so far along. Honest discourse - get used to it, it helps.
Yeah, see there you go assuming I wasn’t one of those people. I was and still am, but I’m also reasonable. Nothing changes if Joe drops now or 3 months ago - the incumbency advantage is lost and the next available candidates look… Not great. The only difference is that Trump would have more time to attack the opposition. The tradeoff is that doing it now means we have to trust the DNC to run a short campaign effectively, but we’ve seen that they can’t run a long campaign effectively, so it doesn’t really matter. If you’re in the, “no to fascism” vote crowd, the DNC could put up a turnip and it would get my vote.
