    No. That is a false dichotomy, as I have said to literally everyone else who has tried to use that argument. There are other options here. The DNC’s and/or Joe Biden’s unwillingness to explore those options doesn’t make them not options. It just means we need to push them harder. Your unwillingness to do so does not mean that the options don’t exist. I am not required to subscribe to your way of viewing politics.

      We live in a two party system. There are two candidates who have a real chance to win the presidential election. This has been true for the entire history of US politics. This is not a way of viewing politics, it’s historical fact. Alternate facts aren’t an opinion, they’re lies.

        And I’m saying if Dems want to win, they need to run a different guy. That’s not even me, its the polls.

          There is no lawful mechanism right now while Joe Biden is still alive to go with a different candidate unless Biden steps down. In which case Trump will absolutely win.

            I want Biden to step down. Yes.

          Unfortunately, it’s a bit too late to switch candidates now. It’s an election year. Withholding our votes won’t result in better candidates in the next election. In fact in this case there won’t be a next election if Trump wins. We need to politically engaged for the next four years if we want a better candidate in 2028. Which I do. So I’m going to vote for Biden since he isn’t going to destroy democracy for personal gain.

              Biden has already won the Idaho and New Hampshire primaries. It would take a major upset or him dying to get someone else the Democratic nomination at this point.

                Not if Biden steps down and endorses a replacement that doesn’t endorse a genocide.

                  I was hoping Biden would honor his promise to be one term president. It’s clear he’s not going to do that. Trump will definitely endorse genocides that will kill many more people than have died so far.
