    it’s a race to the bottom, and liberals are so attached to biden for some reason they seem to actively want him despite the fact that some random state senator would be a safer bet. if we get fascism I’m putting some of the blame on bidenbros

      It’s the two party system and electoral college that causes the “lessor evil” effect. We’ll have to address that better next time.

      Edit: autocorrect gave us an electric college!

      Has there ever been a current president that the party has not put up for re-election after their first term? The decision isn’t really up to me as a pleb Democrat, it’s up to the party in Washington D.C. on who they want to represent the party in the election. When given the choice, I’ll vote for anyone over Trump.

      I just haven’t seen the evidence that some random state sentator would be a safer bet.

      The unfortunate reality is that there are still too many voters who will vote for a centrist old white man over Trump, but would not vote for a young progressive over Trump.

      I didn’t like it in 2020 either, but the Democrats did what they needed to do to beat Trump.
