I’m not a Biden fan myself so I’m not looking to argue with your answer I’m just curious who you think the best choice to run would be, both against Trump specifically and in general if he weren’t a factor?
I don’t a particular candidate in mind and it’s too late in any case, I think they should have had a primary so that whoever did run had a chance to build a head of steam and gain a following, with Biden putting his full weight behind only the chosen candidate and maybe in my wildest dreams use the current wave of union wins to usher in a more pro labor DNC. I realize the second half of that hope is a pipe dream
But I do think that just a democratic candidate would have an advantage over Trump by simply not having been the president the past four years, four rough years for the average American economically which is what the average American votes on, obviously the state of inflation isn’t Biden’s fault, we came out of a fucking world stopping pandemic that started before he took office and corporations have gotten extremely bold in their exploitation. BUT voters are going to put it on him because that’s how being the president works for some reason.
I’m voting for Biden, I know it’s the right thing to do, I’m just expressing doubt that this was the right move based on my read on folks I interact with, I really don’t think he has a prayer. Really want to be wrong
You summed up my thoughts pretty well. I’m not sure I think Trump will win against Biden but you never know. I definitely agree with what you said earlier though, no matter what happens with Trump we’re going to be fighting against fascism for the foreseeable future. Republicans have made it clear they aren’t interested in compromise or playing by the rules. There’s no putting that cat back in the bag unless we beat it unconscious, so to speak.
