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.

    A message to the DNC, if you want the votes, run someone popular. Hillary got us Trump, and they are working to let it happen again. Vote for the best candidate. Don’t waste your vote on a crappy short-term candidate, and maybe one day we can get a good one, maybe one day great.

      If you want someone popular; participate in the primaries and spruik for your preferred candidate.

      Until the US institutes preferential voting, citizens need to vote tactically in general elections. Vote for the candidate most likely to defeat the one who you oppose most. Abstaining from voting is just a vote for the opposition by proxy.
