A message to wavering Democrats (lemmy.sdf.org)

I know that it's popular to dismiss President Biden. I get it. He's old. This is the first election featuring the 2 oldest candidates, ever. So what? The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election. To boot Biden from the ticket and try to bootstrap another candidate is madness. Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP will succeed is like firing the cook and hoping the dishwasher will give you Michelin-quality food. Stick with the old man, and figure out a way to enact his popular policies while also expanding the Supreme Court, enacting term limits and limiting "Christian" Nationalists.

No it's like firing the head chef who's always passed out in the walk-in and hoping one of the sous chefs who actually work the line every night making the food will give you Michelin-quality food. I mean, maybe not Harris in particular, but you get the point.

OK, but if we hire the Fascists chef to lead the restaurant it will cease to exist. If we rehire the snoozing chef, we can also hire new managers to keep the place running like it always has. If we pick the comic book villain because he's 3 years younger and hope he was kidding about all the horrendous shit he said he would do then we are the stupidest fucktards on the planet.

No one here is suggesting we should reelect Trump. People are saying that Biden will lose. The only chance we have, however slim, is to ditch the guy who can't form coherent sentences. People didn't vote for Biden because he's Biden. People voted for Biden because he's not Trump. Whoever takes his place will also have that going for them, with the advantage of being lucid.
