Now that Harris lost, it seems like people are agreeing with you.

In reality it’s both the campaign and the voters. But it’s easier to just blame voters. Lemmy/Reddit will down vote anything that goes against that narrative: but as we just saw, Internet echo chambers do not determine reality.

Literally any criticism of the Democratic party. Like how Biden dragged his feet on withdrawing and then we “didn’t have time” for a primary.

Or criticism of foreign policy. Afghanistan was a cluster fuck and it seems both parties support Israel no matter what.

Letting the electorate focus on border security instead of protecting women’s rights was another obvious blunder, but no one expected Abbott to bus migrants to liberal cities. Republicans are really good at making immigration an issue.

When the going gets tough (and we all agree things are tough right now) you just need to appeal to fear and tribalism.

Passions are too high right now; say the same thing after Harris wins and maybe people will hear you. It’s like how everyone was on board with freedoms lost during the Bush-era (after 9/11). Years later we wonder wtf happened.

I am so ready for this election to be over

Given the recent developments, it turns out its a risk worth taking. Even better had Biden dropped out sooner.

The lack of cognitive dissonance is astounding. This is the same group think that you lambast Republicans for. Maybe we should be better than that? Maybe?

Remember a week ago when there was “not enough time” to replace Biden? Clearly that was bullshit but no one wants to talk about it.

Kamala Harris. Pete Buttigieg. Fucking anyone else. I’d rather vote for Mitt Romney than Donald Trump; we don’t need Biden.

But your question is obviously made in bad faith. You will argue that anyone we name is unelectable. Meanwhile, the framework of the discussion ignores Biden’s own questionable electability.

The DNC is going to run this playbook again in four years. Stuff some establishment democrat down our throats “for the fate of democracy”. I agree that another Trump presidency would be terrible, but can the American people please get a real choice of which Democrat to vote for? Please DNC?

The media attention from him replacing Biden would surely get the word across. The right-wing media would help name recognition by running a smear campaign. And, as everyone keeps saying, we are literally voting for “Not Trump” at this point. “Not Trump” doesn’t have to be Biden.

At this point, I would literally vote for a loofah if it ran against Trump.

Then we don’t need name recognition. Any middle of the road Democrat will do.

MAGA will vote for Trump no matter what. Democrats would rather vote for a corpse than vote for Trump. Which means we don’t need Biden to save democracy: anyone will do.

Someone getting downvoted into oblivion for daring to speak up is hardly the slam dunk you think it is. There are exceptions to the rule.
