He’d get my vote…

    Replacing Biden with a white man and making it unlikely that Harris would end up as President is a recipe for breaking the Democratic coalition. Probably not a good move.

      Harris was the first to drop out of the last Primary. Do people really think that she is what the majority of Democrats wanted?

      Oh, she’s pro locking up more people and making the Drug War even bigger by continuing to go after chronic pain patients and people who need medication after surgeries.

      She ticked the correct policy boxes of big business and prison labor way before her superficial looks allowed an old racist like Biden tokenize her.

      Nah, how about we put up the most likely to win that has policies that are popular, regardless if they happen to be a white man or not. I’m sure most POC within the Democratic Party can recognize attempts at manipulation by ticking checkboxes and pandering.

      Harris is a vile human. Biden is a senile corporate wolf in sheep’s clothing. This is the Weimar Republic all over again. Democracy has failed. Hopefully whatever we rebuild from the smoldering ashes is more resilient to fascism and oligopolies.

        Accelerationism is a range of revolutionary and reactionary ideas in left-wing and right-wing ideologies that call for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, infrastructure sabotage and other processes of social change to destabilize existing systems and create radical social transformations, otherwise referred to as “acceleration”.”

          Yeah and only people that have never looked at a history book are accelerations.

          Many times a society that was destroyed doesn’t get rebuilt. And when they do, they usually rebuild themselves to the way it was before it’s downfall (minus the specific cause), not according to the angsty ideals of teenagers. West Germany went back to being a capitalist democracy after fascism destroyed their country. East Germany only went communist because they were forced to by the Russians. And that didn’t last.
