    I don’t understand this chain of logic why we need to keep Biden:

    1. Biden isn’t the best candidate.

    2. Only Biden can drop (false)

    3. Biden will never make the adult decision to retire.

    4. We have to plow forward with Biden because he’ll never change his mind on anything.

    Like, the argument for why Biden has to stay, is just reasons he shouldn’t stay…

    And it’s not just up to him. It’s up to the DNC.

    We are not stuck with Biden.

    Biden and the DNC just know that’s the only way people will vote for him, so they’ve been reporting it for like 5 years now.

      Ah yes, the DNC, known for making good decisions for our democracy. How they trusted Hillary on us leading to the election of Trump.

      We just need ranked choice voting at a national scale. Until that happens we’re going to keep dealing with this bullshit. A lot of Republicans don’t want to elect a fascist anymore than a lot of democrats don’t want to elect a geriatric. But just like democrats a lot of those Republicans think they have no choice. These could all have been avoided with a different voting system and the more moderate members of each party could have voted together.

      I agree with you, but the system is just fucking broken.
