    It’s nice to see the majority of the democrats are reasonable people and will continue backing Biden.

      tbh, I don’t think reasonable people would think an 80yr old is the best fit to run a country. Edit: Especially after publicly shitting the bed on multiple occasions

        These are reasonable people who at this point are faced with a choice between that 80 year old and Trump.

        The Democrats could have run someone else, should have run someone else, didn’t run someone else. So those are now the two options.

          The convention is a month away and plenty of time to retire the Rocinante for a better horse

            He already has enough delegates to win the convention, as is my understanding of the odd way the Democratic party makes this decision.

              Biden can announce that he is not seeking re-election. Release the delegates and it can be decided at the convention, as it officially is done. The DNC refusing to allow proper primaries makes this much messing now, but it is the only viable path forward without trump. It’s the policies and platform that are important and anyone who would vote D knows that. The left doesn’t want a king, but someone who can champion their ideals.

          Yes, he’s 81. He’ll be 82 November 20th. 86 at the end of his second term if he’s re-elected.

          That’s not the question at hand. Trump should die in a fire, but that’s not what this is about.

            That is what this is about. Because if everyone that is wanting people to not vote for the 81 year old get their way- then we’re getting the 78 year old.

            THESE ARE OUR CHOICES. it’s too late in the game to call an audible.

              No, it’s not too late. Biden is not even officially the democratic nominee yet, the convention hasn’t even happened yet. The rest of the world has an entire election cycle that lasts like two months. The election is still almost four months away.

                The US has an election cycle that runs much longer than most other places in the world.

                I’m seeing a lot of people downvoting comments that are making simple statements of fact about how the American election system works. It may not be the way people want it to work, but that’s what they’ve got. Downvoting such comments doesn’t change it.

                  The US does not need to, is my point. Four months is more than enough time to introduce a new candidate.

                    I know it doesn’t need to.

                    It does anyway.

                    There are a lot of things the US probably should be doing differently about its political system, but they aren’t, and that’s the world we live in.

          Haha, no. Many other problems with that cesspool.
