Because it drives ratings and all the dumbasses who pick it up and run with it are the same ones who followed “this is how Bernie can still win.” I’ve already seen multiple people say “we could have AOC!” as if that is at all realistic. And although she is the most “out there” fan fic pick there are still plenty of others who would immediately be torn apart.

Choosing a different horse at this point leads to a Mondale style wipeout.

Funny how everyone latches onto “generic democrat polls better” polls that would IMMEDIATELY shift as soon Biden drops and they come in.

It would:

1. signal Democrats have no idea what they’re doing
2. Put out the feeling they’re terrified
3. Open up a new candidate to attacks “they’re too left, they’re too soft on crime, they’re …”
4. Give up the incumbency advantage and it IS an advantage.

Why anyone is still on this “drop out Biden” crap is beyond me. His interview was fine (notice how no one is bringing that up in comparison to one bad debate). Trump has MULTIPLE times looked confused and out of it on this campaign trail let alone all the years before (notice how no one brings that up.) Project 2025 should scare the living daylights out of anyone- Republican, Democrat, or independent and especially in light of the relatively progressive and largely relaxed time of Biden’s admin…

To me this is nothing but a Republican plan come to fruition by latching on whatever they could and a bunch of dummies running with it. And by dummies I mean people who don’t like Biden and see this as their perfect chance to drop him, even if their preferred younger candidate gets absolutely stomped in the election. They’d rather have “their way” even if it means giving up the presidency.

Hold the line- Biden will be fine.

Looking at what trump did and remembering his “nuclear” speech people need to gtfo over it and vote Biden.

Jfc

Trump did not speak confidently.

He ignored the questions, he lied with abandon, and the moderators did nothing about it. Biden couldn’t keep up with the flood of lies to refute it all.

Im quite sure Biden is capable of lying just as quickly and confidently but he is a better person than that. He actually came to debate, not spit in our faces by lying right to us.

Except your arguments against Biden easily apply, and more so, against trump. He is absolutely not all there, a mere three years younger, and certainly not competent (and absolutely corrupt on top of that.)

The simple answer is- people expect Republicans to be degenerates. They don’t expect that of Democrats. It’s nothing but a shitty double standard we’ve let dictate politics for decades.

The stupid average voter is barely even aware of anything, let alone one bad debate. They haven’t had to think about Biden for four years. They won’t even remember that come November if they ever did hear of it.

You’re trading complacency and incumbency for a complete unknown. That’s the dumbest fucking thing you can do, to put it lightly.

Yeah and give it two weeks and they’ll all poll worse because the spin machine aimed at them.

People are deluded to think a fresh face is gonna be better than the incumbent.

Don’t even have to fork. Just contribute to servo.

But hey, don’t vote for Biden because of a bad debate. After all, how much worse can more conservative justices be…

Not directed at you- just in general.

Progressive paradox. Simultaneously so popular but can never get enough votes.

This is simply fan fic.

There are two standards. Everyone expects Republicans to be lying shitheads so when they are, no one is surprised.

We somehow just accept this.

Young people are fucking stupid then if they think trump gets them anywhere nearer their goals.

Source- I was a dumb youth in my day. Vote for the car that gets you closest to your destination, not farther away from it. And definitely don’t abstain and then complain after the fact that things are worse.

Biggest climate change law ever, forgave student loans, pardoned homosexual acts on the military, stood in picket lines, got railroad workers sick days, appointed a trust buster to the FTC.

Plenty more. And he’s not trump. Got my vote and Anyone who isn’t a complete dumbass, their vote too. Don’t forget about who will pick new SCOTUS justices too.

The last three years did that. Idgaf about one bad debate.

This is so dumb. The Democratic party coalesced around Biden. If more people wanted Bernie then they should’ve fucking voted for him in the primary.

I did but can easily recognize not enough of others did.

You are always full of the absolute worst takes.

As someone who was around for the sysvinit to systemdd change, I’ll take the latter every single day and twice on Sunday.

Terrible topic but systemd itself is a godsend IMO, warts and all.

Dendrite iirc is essentially in maintenance mode. I run a small one but I don’t think it’s expected to get any new features until there is more funding.
