That’s weird. I thought they said it was because he had a cold.

      You think Biden is trying to let trump win by splitting the Dem voter base?

      I don’t think he’s doing it intentionally like Stein, but if he refuses to drop, yeah, that’s what he’s doing.

        Nope just mean I’m getting a lot of ‘hey if everyone just votes third party we can will ourselves out of this predicament’. In reality many of the end goals of the commenters align with both leftist and far right efforts to capitalize.

          I’m getting a lot of ‘hey if everyone just votes third party we can will ourselves out of this predicament’.

          I mean, I block a lot of people who don’t seem to be here in good faith, so it’s possible they’re here and I just don’t see them.

          But the only thing I see a lot of, is people pointing out Biden has historically bad poll numbers, and if we switched candidates we’d have a better shot. Be a use right now, it’s going to be the Dem candidate or trump as president.

          Long term tho?

          Yeah, eventually we need to acknowledge the DNC is fucking up and we need a new party. That’s a discussion for the day after the election though.

          I just hope this time everyone doesn’t immediately tune out after the election.

            Agree. DNC needs a huge reckoning. Took a deep dive into one of the commenters history and this is a shitty satire of that. Also the Jill Stein simping.

      Bruh. Some of us are pro D or vehemently anti R and supported Biden up until the disaster last Thu. Some of us are able to see that we are FUCKED if we don’t change course.

      Before you accuse me of being a vatnik, check my fucking history. You will find that I despise Rs and advocate for the West to mount a covert war to destroy the russian state. Having been born into a Ukrainian/Moldovan family.

        This. I’m behind Biden 100% if he’s on the ticket this fall. No other option. But I’d much rather the Democratic Party switch him out right now, because the low-info, the Elevated Centrists, the normies, etc…are going to stay home or vote for donnie given what we all saw with our own eyes. It hurts to say it, even to think it, but it’s the truth. And it will cost us dearly as anyone in this country that is not some far-right wing demon.

        No amount of DNC gaslighting is going to change that fact.

        I was just as ready to bail I’m sure you can’t find such in my comment history as well. It was a disaster. My comment wasn’t aimed at everyone. I think it’s fitting for some here but not you.
