Maybe…
Maybe, just maybe, people wouldn’t compare the two of them so much if Biden wasn’t acting so much like trump?
Have you just not watched the interview yet?

If you’re tired of people comparing Biden and trump, maybe we should run a Dem candidate who has anything else to campaign on than trump.
Like, Biden and his campaign constantly compare the two, but when voters do it, it’s literally:
No, not like that!
Biden had been campaigning on his accomplishments. Talks about them constantly. It’s clear he has a compare and contrast approach that includes his accomplishments.
Like beating medicare?
Seriously, watch last night’s interview if you haven’t. Biden couldn’t even list his own accomplishments and most of what he does have to brag about, is legislation that his total involvement was signing a piece of paper.
Any Dem in office would have accomplished as much as Biden has. There’s no reason it has to be Biden.
They addressed 99% of the shit I’ve been bitching about for longer than I’ve had a Lemmy account.
If you can watch that, if you can look at polling, if you can talk to actual people and still feel confident that Biden is a good bet against trump…
Then I won’t take time trying to explain how picking Biden is shit tier risk assessment.
You say “we should run a Dem candidate” but this is not how the system actually works. Both parties are private organizations whose internal policies are regulated internally. The primaries are not public institutions, they are not federally regulated, and their results are not even legally binding. “We” could run the perfect candidate as a Democrat. They’re unfailingly charismatic, knowledgeable on every subject, yet every voter sees themselves in them. Lifelong Republicans even change party to vote for them. Ultimately, the Democratic party is not obligated to accept them as leader, even with 100% of all votes in their favor.
It’s broken. I’m not trying to tell you that it’s okay. It’s not. But just being mad without understanding what you’re mad about isn’t going to change a damn thing.

Which means the DNC don’t have to name Biden…
For almost a decade they’ve been saying they can do whatever.
Even argued it to a judge that primary votes don’t matter, so it’s fine if they rig it.
It’s not just Biden who can say he’s not the candidate, the people he appointed to run the DNC can say it too and run someone else, regardless of if “lord god” has told Biden to drop out or not.
