I know that it’s popular to dismiss President Biden. I get it. He’s old. This is the first election featuring the 2 oldest candidates, ever. So what? The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election. To boot Biden from the ticket and try to bootstrap another candidate is madness. Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP will succeed is like firing the cook and hoping the dishwasher will give you Michelin-quality food. Stick with the old man, and figure out a way to enact his popular policies while also expanding the Supreme Court, enacting term limits and limiting “Christian” Nationalists.

    No. It’s more like firing the head chef who’s putting dish soap in every course and yelling at anyone who points it out that he’s just as capable as he ever was.

    The junior chef slated as a temporary replacement might not be very well-liked, and not even a very good cook, but at least she won’t poison the guests while alienating the staff.

    Plus, due to arcane restaurant edicts the kitchen is required to either hire from their own ranks or hire a chef who shits directly into the mouth of every patron, threatens all the LGBTQ+ workers and tries to physically prevent people of color from entering the restaurant.

    And for some unfathomable reason, most of the guests would rather eat shit than dish soap.

      Let’s put it this way, as long as Trump doesn’t win, I’m fine with the result. But given that the only viable candidate right now is Biden, or possibly Kamala Harris, who is already on the ticket anyway, I’ll be voting Biden simply to insure that Trump doesn’t win.

      And if you think there isn’t that much difference between the two, read some summaries of what Trump plans to do via Project 2025.
