I'm voting for Biden. Not happily, not even simply neutral on the matter. I hate that I have to vote for Biden.

If AOC ran, I would not be even a little reluctant to vote for her. She reminds me of Bernie.

I’m voting for the Biden administration. It’s more than just him. We need them all.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 56 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And the possible seats on SCOTUS

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

You know I think that's the absolutely best reason to vote

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago

I’m voting the same way but more because we need to not have the other administration, we need much more that the current admin but we also do not have the luxury of being picky

[–] Twentytwodividedby7@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

AOC is actually not old enough to be president. Ironic given how old the candidates are...I agree, Biden has my vote

[–] noevidenz@infosec.pub 59 points 4 months ago (1 children)

AOC is currently 34 and her birthday is in October, so she will actually be old enough to be president by the time of the election.

[–] finestnothing@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah, but you know people will throw out misinformation saying she can't actually become president because she's 34 and some people will believe them and stick with Biden or someone else who we know for damn sure is over 35 and it'll just split the vote unless Biden (and any other big names on the left) drop out

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 months ago

Biden is close to senile, and I'm assuming he'll pass away within the next 4 years. Honestly, I hope he'll win the elections and then peacefully passes away. Nothing against him personally, he seems like a nice guy but what the US (and by extension, the world, thanks for that) needs is not a narcissistic psychopath, and also not a senile grandfather for president.

[–] lengau@midwest.social 8 points 4 months ago

This is her first election where she's eligible to run for president. I wouldn't be surprised to see her run in 2028

If AOC ran, I would not be even a little reluctant to vote for her. She reminds me of Bernie.

same here

i'm struggling to get myself to vote for biden; i vacillate on it every day and i wish my history and future of enduring biden et al.'s policies wasn't clouding my decision.
