    OK, that’s an opinion. But Trump and the Republican party is literally trying to take over the government and replace most executive positions. There’s no evidence Biden is trying to do that or anything as immediate or exteme.

    In that position and in your point of view, they are both fascists. But Trump is a fascist that is trying to commit a coup NOW and Biden isn’t.

    I am 100% for trying to primary Biden. If there’s enough support Biden doesn’t win the nomination that’d be great! But abdication or forcing him out just because old is a good way to lose faith in the electorate. A better plan would be to have a VP that is a good presidential candidate in case he has to resign due to age.

      I’m not going to be voting for Biden under any foreseeable circumstance. he could forgive my student loan, and gimme that $2k he promised me 3 years ago. I don’t think he has the backbone to do either of those, though

            It’s a two party system. Not voting for one of the two is as good as voting for the one for like least. You’re depriving the one who’s less bad of a vote. That’s how the party system works. You need to put down your principles once we’re at the final stage and make the choice that is least worst for you.

            To put it in perspective: if it was Biden vs literally dying, would you still not vote for Biden? We’re not quite there, but it’s close: potential end of democracy.

                Thats not entirely fair they also have ‘Nothing will fundamentally change’ and you know you can believe that one because it’s the one they told the people who pay them.

                Then welcome round 2 of Trump and the final round of democracy. When the blame game happens, people like you and the above spammer will be held to account for your refusal to compromise. You’re no better than Republicans. In fact, you are all worse. Because at least Republicans know what they’re about. Pathetic.

                  I’m voting for Biden. I’m sure that won’t stop you from blaming me anyway. Honestly, you’d rather lose and have someone to blame than win by appealing to us worthless voters.

              we’re not a democracy, we never have been, and that’s a good thing: democracy is bad.
