A rapidly growing chorus of Democratic lawmakers is calling for President Joe Biden to drop his reelection bid, even as the president insists he’s ready to return to the campaign trail to counter what he calls a “dark vision” laid out by Republican Donald Trump.
Biden is the best chance of winning. Any other choice means Trump wins.
Why do you say that? Every dem and “independent” I talk to tell me they don’t want Biden or Harris but they’d be eager to vote for anyone under 60 who is even remotely progressive.
If Biden did a press conference with Newson tomorrow announcing he’s passing his campaign to a new generation they would be totally psyched.
I don’t care about arbitrary numbers for age, but Biden just looks lost. It’s about cognitive decline. I’ll vote him anyway, but a lot of normies think he’s “too old” and that means he might not win against someone that should be very beatable (donnie).
Every non-maga I talk to is happy to vote for him. This idea that no one wants Biden is something I’m only hearing on lemmy. And the timing is pretty sus
It’s possible your experience is very anecdotal. Everyone I talk to that is not magabrained says they’ll vote for him, if they must. That’s the key part: if they must. Most of them wish there was almost any other Democrat in there.
The polls show that 2/3 of Democrats want him to bow out, but apparently Biden and team is more concerned with his ego. Again, if he stays in, I’m voting for him. But I think the Democrats will get absolutely crushed all up and down the ballot if he stays in.
Where do you live? 1600 Pennsylvania ave?
Literally every point of actual data disagrees with you.
What did the data say for Hillary vs Trump? Pretty accurate eh?
Actually, yeah. That election turned out within the margin of error of the polls.
Everyone who was surprised by the result needs media literacy classes.
I’m just not buying that. I think Biden’s people and a lot of people walking on eggshells for him may have convinced themselves of that (maybe). But I bet that narrative flips the minute he steps down.
I’m not buying that. Trying to change candidates this late in the game is such a bad idea that the only person that would suggest it is someone who wants Trump to win.
That must be why the Republicans desperately want to run against him.
Given that every point of data shows Trump winning in a landside, and probably getting the house and Senate, if Biden stays in suggests that people advocating for Biden staying in want Trump to win.
See what I did there?
Fun fact, actual data supports one and only one of us.
Are you a Russian bot that wants Trump to win?
What did the data say for Hillary vs Trump? Was it accurate?
So… Let me get this right. Your only response is literally a named fallacy?
What does your gut say the stock market will do next month, oh wonderful and correct Oracle?
My response was a question that you seem to be avoiding.
Your response was irrelevant. It’s not even data. It’s a literal named fallacy.
“Trump won once, so he will again” is literally the same statement.
Take a critical thinking class, cause you really don’t know how.
Again, I’m pointing out that the predictions you’re using are inaccurate and changing candidates this late in the game would cause a clusterfuck so big it would be a guaranteed win for Trump.
