    I’m gonna be real, I’ve felt powerless my entire voting life. I’ve only been able to vote for the “lesser evil”. I want real fucken cchoices that are real fucking people. Our system only serves us an endless stream of disconnected neoliberals and its fucken shit.

      You dont have to vote for either. after losing a few elections they will either fade off into obscurity or be replaced by an actual party that serves the interests of the working class

        Cute. You think that we are going to get another fair election if Trump is voted in.

        It’s obviously a Biden vote from me. But if the Democrats really think they can improve their candidate by switching this late in the game… As long as they don’t cause Trump to win I’m happy.

        But I’m more than willing to vote for the nice but senile man who will keep voting possible moving forward. So changing candidates doesn’t actually win you my vote. And if you change the candidate to someone too extreme (Like Bernie Sanders), you seriously risk losing my vote.

          You would rather let Trump win than vote for a progressive.

          Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud.

            You’re welcome.

            It needs to be said because yall keep forgetting where the moderates are in this country. I don’t think its reasonable to push for a socialist candidate around here.

              Except when those “socialist” policies are actually explained to those people, then they support those policies. While continuing to vote directly against them.

                You pretend like Bernie-bros haven’t been trying to explain his policies to me for 20 years. Literally over 20 years now.

                But maybe one more post on the internet might help. Who knows?

          Not that the comment you’re replying to isn’t dumb as hell, but…

          And if you change the candidate to someone too extreme (Like Bernie Sanders), you seriously risk losing my vote.

          You’d really fucking welcome fascism over Bernie Sanders?

            They would have to first realize that we are already a fascist country, then they would defend blue fascism just as long as they don’t get red fascism.

                Yeah because this queer Mexican communist has so much privilege. It’s those that are upholding the status quo that’s doing the most harm to the marginalized, the ones that they claim they’re trying to protect

                  Quite apparently, considering how many minorities you’re throwing under the bus so you can roleplay.

                    The people throwing the marginalized under the bus are liberals every election year, when they are promptly forgotten about until the next election when they are brought out as human shields to defend against shitty politicians. They are worse then republicans since republicans are openly hostile

      The issue isn’t that Biden stands in the way, its that no one is actually building up a reasonable alternative.

      I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. You need to actually have a real alternative to Biden that enough people can agree with. Kamala, Newcom, Buttigieg seem to be losing out in early discussions and they’re the best chance to an alternative. Find someone, hype them up and seriously push them as an alternative.

      I’m not against Biden, but I’m not necessarily against change either. I’m also not a Democrat, but I want to see a reasonable candidate to vote for as much as anyone else. But unless you can prove to me that the next person to step up is someone reasonable (if someone spends like 15 posts pushing lol Bernie Sanders at me like last time this topic was brought up… so help me… an even older man who disagrees with my politics is the last one I’d be voting for)

      Pick someone, push them forward. Good luck. If you can’t do that, I’m holding my support for Biden because yall fools don’t have anyone else. If you can do that (and if I agree with your choice), then and only then can we move forward.


      The idea that you want Biden to step out before a reasonable alternative is lined up is fucking insane. Start hyping people today, no need for Biden to step aside as you try to build up support to someone else.
