Shhh, don't mention other countries. Nothing to see here, just keep listening to the establishment democrats telling us anything other than Biden is impossible. And then four years from now the fight for democracy will continue.

Good domestic policy. Bad foreign policy. Or have we all collectively forgot about the wars?

Edit: You all were very loudly criticizing Biden on Israel a few weeks ago, but fine, I guess Lemmy has moved on.

Guess we'll have to wait and see. If Biden stays in and young people don't show up to vote, everyone will blame voters and not the DNC; even though the entire argument for Biden is his supposed electability.

We're in such dangerous waters right now that we might as well throw caution to the wind and try to get a woman elected POTUS. At least that would energize the base.

Where dragons get slain and their hoards plundered.

This metaphor is apt because its a fantasy. The people have proven they aren't going to do jack shit.

At this point I vote just to say that I did. I don't expect voting is the way that America is going to fix its problems. We're voting in a two-party system where both sides do everything in their power to maintain the status quo. We simply do not have a seat at the table.

This literally happened en masse after slavery was abolished in the South. They would just charge black people for minor offenses (e.g., "looking at a white woman"), jail them, and lease them to middle-class landowners who treated them worse than slaves. This country was built on slave labor and the legacy of slavery still continues to this day.

Kamala Harris. Pete Buttigieg. Fucking anyone else. I'd rather vote for Mitt Romney than Donald Trump; we don't need Biden.

But your question is obviously made in bad faith. You will argue that anyone we name is unelectable. Meanwhile, the framework of the discussion ignores Biden's own questionable electability.

The DNC is going to run this playbook again in four years. Stuff some establishment democrat down our throats "for the fate of democracy". I agree that another Trump presidency would be terrible, but can the American people please get a real choice of which Democrat to vote for? Please DNC?

The media attention from him replacing Biden would surely get the word across. The right-wing media would help name recognition by running a smear campaign. And, as everyone keeps saying, we are literally voting for "Not Trump" at this point. "Not Trump" doesn't have to be Biden.

I understand that modern outer layers are more functional. A leather jacket, for example, can be dressed up or down so as to be worn in a variety of situations. It is also better at keeping you warm.

However, I think capes/cloaks are more aesthetically pleasing garments. It also feels good to have the fabric flowing around you as you walk. But what do you think?
