Oh yes, let's completely change the candidate 4 MONTHS before the election. That really sounds like a winning strategy. Let's get rid of the candidate that has been a Vice President for 8 years and is the sitting President of 3.5 years. Let's replace the candidate that has done more for the US than any other republican president. Let's make sure we replace Joe Biden so that the psychopathic dictator wanna-be 'donald the con man trump' can be installed as our illiterate king. That's going to solve all the problems we have. Finally Democracy will go away. And Freedom will end. It's about time, how boring and valueless those things are. Women can finally become property again, and all the non-white people will be deported. Everyone will be required to attend church on Sunday and give 10% of their income to the church. No more alcohol, parties, sex. We will finally be a moral land again. The christian version of Sharia will be implemented. Wages will be the lowest in history and we can finally build walls around the nation to keep people out and Americans trapped inside, just like East Germany used to be.

Personally I'm voting for Joe Biden, even if he is in a COMA! I value my Freedom and Biden has been doing a great job for Americans.

If all the Democrats and "liberal" news stations and pundits spent half as much of their time bitching that Biden should drop out on figuring out WHO should replace him this wouldn't be such a problem. If they could just agree on a new nominee maybe Biden would consider dropping out. Because right now Biden has to consider it when there's no alternative.

People suggesting Biden drop out without a plan on how to proceed are doing the Republicans' jobs for them. Or they are Trump supporters.

Dude, you can literally Google it. There's dozens of articles and talking points suggesting a handful of names. It's right there. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

It's becoming really fucking clear just how much of an echochamber the Dems also live in while simultaneously mocking Trumpers for being in theirs.

And yet you didn't bother to supply even 1 name. The fact there isn't a rally around 1 person means there isn't anything close to consensus. So it's just tearing down the only chance we've got.

Or at I put it: helping Trump win. Good job.

The names are like Harris, Newsom, Whitmer, Buttigieg, etc., but getting everyone to agree to one of those is a long shot. I'm not convinced that switching to any of those people would give the Dems a better chance at winning the election.
