There is no other space filler. We need Biden to run! But we really need a candidate for next time.
Is anyone voting for Biden because they really love him?
He could be replaced at the snap of a finger and it would not cost votes.
I am voting for Biden because he's a good president.
He could not be replaced at the snap of a finger, he's had an extremely active first term and already pursued and heavily invested in najor progressive reforms.
Unnecessarily replacing a candidate 4 months before the election would absolutely throw the election to the conservatives.
the country is less progressive now then when Biden was in office with Obama
on that note US citizens enjoy less rights than their counterparts living in the 60s
fucking sad Americans are willingly ready to suck Biden or Trump depending on your favorite color
all voters could just protest by voting someone else if the top two choices suck but hey the democrats wouldn't like that because that would be a vote for Trump
I see and hear a more progressive population inundated with more conservative news.
Totally agree about voting.
Not it wouldn't. A different candidate results in much higher odds of beating Trump. Do you actually want to beat Trump? Biden has done some good things but he will not be remembered for that if his elder abusing family gets their way.
That is absurd.
Biden led a good first term with many solid beneficial policies, let him lead a second good term.
You are high as a kite if you think replacing a known candidate with solid support 4 months before an election is a good election strategy.
It's a terrible idea and puts the Democrats at a significant disadvantage showing political instability, poor decision making and confusing builders.
It's a terrible idea to unnecessarily replace a good president.
Biden already hurt his numbers tremendously by supporting genocide. Now you're asking we support elder abuse as well? Polls have shown choosing other candidates help Democrats. Not sure why we should support elder abuse as well when it also hurts our own chances of even beating Trump. I think the only people in denial are the ones saying Biden should stay in. Maybe go look at some polls. Or we can bury our heads in the sand and blame Progressives and Palestinians when Biden loses, sort of like Dems blaming Bernie supporters in 2016.
He doesn't support genocide, he's actively against it.
The only people that believe that are idiots voting against him anyway.
Pulls are idiotic and do not predict anything useful.
You're repeating bandwagon myths and making inaccurate assumptions.
He doesn't even admit it is a genocide.
As I said, you are naking things up to serve your rapist traitor hero.
Thanks for agreeing.
Something something glass house and throwing stones.
You're both asses here. One is also a liar. Mr. Richard - don't threaten to abuse the report feature to win arguments. Also, stop with misinformation.
Varyk - Stop with rhetoric that will goad people into fights.
First, last, and only warning.
Can you tell me what you think I said that was misinformation? The genocide? Do you consider the opinion of world courts?
Show me where Biden says "I'm not that P word".
Here, I'll make it easy:

Before I report you for abusing this community's rules how about you just move on and you can vent your frustration internally over Biden's historically significant terrible debate performance.

By all means, go tattle on me for correcting your inaccuracies.
You haven't corrected anything. You just hurl insults without facts. But let's not be children okay. Maybe Biden losing if he stays in will be your defining moment.
I think this one gets paid to be argumentative or something. Just block em.
If you think what Biden is doing is "supporting genocide", I'm quite sure you don't want to see what other candidates will do. 1
As much as I don’t think Biden should run at his age, you’re basing the “changing the nominee now wouldn’t cost votes” on nothing whatsoever. There is a proven benefit to incumbency. I don’t like it, but it’s true. And the other massive question mark is who does a majority of the country like enough in the Democratic Party (that the Democratic Party actually wants being its nominee) to just install? Because you also have to factor in the mileage the right would get out of “the Democratic Party’s nominee was installed like a dictator!” shit. No to mention the optics of a party elite-chosen candidate. You can’t say a change wouldn’t lose votes without a definitive other candidate to compare to and without considering the optics.
So basically, what you’re saying is mostly just nonsense. This is a terrible situation for us to have to be I . But we’re in it. No use pretending.
You'll find some in the politics comms who love Biden
Yeah, maybe those that love genocide.
Come on! He's just a speaking head!
Hi, comrade! I love Joe Biden and I hate genocide, so there.
If there is a next time
