I'm not American and have only brief idea of how US elections work, but.. damn this gets more and more ridiculous every day. I'm not saying Trump is better or anything, that dude is batshit crazy egomaniac, but... But... you're saying there are no other options like if there was only one available candidate from the whole blue party? Or is it impossible (or too late) to switch candidate now? I'm confused.

I'd prefer the cryptkeeper surgeon who is at least trying, as opposed to the orange ghoul who is there to harvest your organs for some spare change.

The problem lies with the hospital which allowed those to be the only options to begin with.

I for one would prefer to have my appendix removed by a competent surgeon just over 35 y.o., but until hospital staff management gets their shit together, there isn't a whole lot one can do.

Voting Biden. Fuck all these takes. I'll never vote R again and I'll always vote. You old bastards die mad at the world.

If my choice was between that and the doctor who said "I've got this handgun, it's the best handgun, nobody kills more patients than me"...

At this point i feels like it's all republican trying to do a psyop telling people not to vote.

Depends... is your other option not a doctor at all, and he hates you, and has openly stated that he hopes you die in the procedure? Those are you current two choices, America. Go with the sleepy one.

Like, vote Biden, but also encourage the Democrats to put up somebody who has more going for them than "I'm not Trump". And if they actually do, vote for the new Democrat candidate instead. And while we're fantasizing, everybody should get free ice cream.

Pretty sure the other doctor would straight up kill me. Hmmm tough choice.

So let’s go with the convicted felon doctor who only saves the patients who donate millions of dollars to him. The hospital fired him but he refused to leave his office.

Edit: also he’s 78 and talks about Hannibal Lecter a lot.

Sure... but if we're talking about the presidency, it's more like we're choosing a Dean of Medicine, rather than the surgeon who's going to be doing the operation.

Don't get me wrong, I would prefer not to have to deal with an 81 year old Dean who had some good days and some really bad ones. But, ultimately, the Dean of Medicine's most important job is hiring good doctors and then delegating to them. It's a rare occasion when you know ahead of time who the Dean's team will be... but in this case we've seen both options as Dean, and we know that only one of the two is planning to hire Dr. Nick Riviera and Zoidberg.

I'm your surgeon now... and I'm tired of pretending I give a rat's ass about you, plebian.

Gotta love all these anti-Biden straw man posts where we overlook the reality of a thing and substitute in some random bullshit that makes our point for us.

It’s so fun to suspend reality in order to manufacture outrage for others.

I don't give a shit how demented biden gets. fucking Regan showed that you won't even notice if the support staff step up.

Let’s compare that to “Dr. Trump” who would tell you people say he’s the best doctor, the best surgeon, the other doctor is a stupid poopy head who can’t golf, then no-show for your lifesaving operation and say only suckers and losers get cancer. But he’d still take your money.

Look I'm from Missouri, I will vote for a dead guy again if I have to. Because the other choice is fascism.

Fantastic! More propaganda from return2ozma. What a typical day on lemmy.

Well the alternative is a convicted rapist who wants to harvest your organs....

These non-voter apologists are just Trumpers in donkey clothing.

Notice they always have to neg him in a vacuum, because once he is juxtaposed to Trump, he looks like the best parts of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams put together.

They will say or do anything to suppress the vote.

Great, Biden's not perfect, he is also a million fucking percent better than the alternative.

The Democrats are digging their own electoral grave. It's okay to preach about voting Biden on Lemmy, but it won't count for anything when masses of real world voters decline to vote for him on account of the constant self-harming of the dems.

A half decent candidate would tank Trump.

So much “but trump worst!!” in this thread, oof. Vote for the Biden administration if that’s your only choice, fine. But stop pretending that Biden himself is voteworthy - he’s not, and is hardly capable of functioning normally for 6 hours out of the day at this point. Anyone paying attention for the past year who is engaging in honest good faith, should be able to attest to that.

It would be much better for Biden to step down while there’s still time, if you’re really so terrified of Trump and want to ensure a Republican defeat come November. Those who are pushing for Biden himself to stay in are the real threat to democracy.

Come on Dems, how many times do you have to be taught the lesson of Feinstein and RBG?! For that matter, why are you so insistent on politicians literally working into the grave? It’s a grotesque level of elder abuse, what’s being done to Biden right now. You all should be ashamed.

How about a criminal grifter doctor that says he doesn't care about you, he just wants your money?
