24 hours? I don’t thinks I’ve had a full belly laugh in 24 years.

I put it to you that you’re going to sleep walk in another Trump presidency. Are you going to act surprised or admit that people didn’t want a senile president?

The options are trying to do something about it now, or waiting four years whilst Trump is inflicted upon the world.

I think that pretending there is no other option and having to hold your nose while voting for Biden is very weak.

Many have said, “I’d vote for a dog/potato/cadaver over Trump”, so if that’s true, it actually doesn’t matter who you pick in place of Biden. So let’s pick literally anyone who doesn’t look like they’ve stayed up too late at the old people’s home.

I think that the POTUS should be extremely competent given how serious the job role is, I actually don’t think that should be a controversial, let alone delusional point of view.

The irony of people like you calling me delusional whilst you pretend Biden is up to the job leaves me lost for words.

Biden’s cognitive capacity is clearly in decline and if he manages to win he’ll be 85 when he leaves office. Tell me one other person with a job role as serious as his that’s served by someone like that.

Yes, I know Trump would be a disaster, that’s exactly why it’s so important that the democrats put forward the best possible candidate they can and if that’s Biden, I think we should all be very worried.

I’m not voting for either. I’m not American. I’m just concerned with the shit state of America’s shit choice of candidates for president because of how it affects the rest of the world.

I really think that you’re just highlighting how shit the situation is.

I think there are many great reasons to not vote Trump, but that doesn’t mean you have to like voting for Biden

I don’t think this is what I was referring to, but very interesting.

It’s feed back only in the sense that it can be seen as a success or a failure by an independent observer.

It’s not like a tree can see that last year’s seeds weren’t very good and try a different mutation this year.

Genes are not self aware, mutations do not have an end goal and survival simply comes down to chance.

I honestly wouldn’t care if he wasn’t applying for what is arguably the most important job in the world and I think the “still better than Trump” argument is just setting an extremely low bar.

I don’t think knowing the difference between Zelensky and Putin is a big ask.

I’m pretty sure it was on Reddit at some point but I’m not saying that makes it any more trustworthy.

There is no knowing or feedback.

Mutations are random and there are many more failed mutations than successful ones.

You only see the successful species for that very reason, the failed ones have not been able to compete or pass their genes on at an appropriate rate.

If she wanted to be found, being white and rich would’ve helped.

It’s a sensitive topic but white and black people are genetically much more seperated than black and white rhinos which we are happy to describe as separate species.

The term isn’t outdated because it’s incorrect, it’s outdated because if you start saying different groups of humans are literally separate species it really feeds in to the racist agenda.

Edit: Given the replies, it appears that I may well be wrong, I remember reading it somewhere but I can’t find the source nkw. I’ll downvote myself but leave the comment up because it enables others to learn from my mistake

That’s already the option. I truly think that the democrats can find a better candidate.

“but Trump’s a raving lunatic!” Sticks fingers firmly in ears

Edit: presumably I’m getting downvoted because Trump has set the bar so low that we’re ingnoring the common opinion that Biden should retire gracefully rather than acting surprised when Trump wins and getting forced out anyway.

You’re not applying for the arguably the most important job in the world. I think “better than Trump tho” is an extremely low bar and actually rather depressing.

Lemmy: “Trumps a raving lunatic so let’s pretend this is OK and that this is the best candidate that the party can put forward”.

Trump being a raving lunatic doesn’t make it OK to not find a candidate that doesn’t belong in a care home.

And the democrats can’t produce a candidate that’s not gaff prone? What a sorry state of affairs.

You’re also not applying for arguably the most important job in the world.
