Who?
Everyone complains about Biden’s age, but this guy actually tries to primary him and it gets a collective yawn from everyone.
I wish Biden weren’t super old, but throwing our weight behind anyone but the incumbent just seems like a bad idea to me.
Only republicans yell about Biden’s age. Everyone who’s not braindead repube cares more about democracy vs fascism than someone’s age.
I care a lot about bidens age, actually, I just care that he isn’t trump a lot more.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of younger people on the left who have latched onto those Republican talking points.
It’s not just his age. I don’t like Biden as a candidate or as a president. I want to vote for someone more progressive, and I wish he were a stronger competitor who guaranteed a victory. He is supremely beatable in November.
But hes the incumbent president, and there’s no other Democrat who would be a better choice. Unless he dies or is otherwise incapacitated, he will be the nominee, and he’s the best chance at keeping Trump, or any conservative, out of office.
This guy in New Hampshire, I’ve already forgotten his name and it’s literally only a short scroll away, he isn’t a serious contender. I don’t care what he does because it is irrelevant.
I don’t like him much, but he’s a better president than I thought he would be. He’s actually moved us down a more progressive path than I expected, especially considering he’s had to fight every step of the way. He just never promotes any of it for some reason. The Inflation Reduction Act was a pretty good start on rebuilding our infrastructure even if the climate change goals were torpedoed by Manchin and even though Biden couldn’t go as far as he wanted with his American Rescue Plan. He’s been filling the federal courts with left-wing judges. He’s done a huge amount to repair our international reputation after Trump threw it in the trash (although we’ll see if that’s still true considering Biden’s Israel stance). He allowed Medicare to negotiate drug prices, which lowered the cost of insulin for millions of Americans. He got a ton of people’s student loans forgiven, although not nearly as many as he wanted.
Do I wish we had an even better president? Absolutely. But he has been better than I expected and he has never had enough of congress on his side to get his agenda passed anywhere near the way he wanted it.
The best way to get more left leaning candidates is to move the Overton window left by destroying the repubs at the polls time after time.
I don’t like his position on Israel, but I believe any other position would be political suicide, and with fascist traitors waiting in the wings for a second try, he can’t afford to rock that boat. He’s doing pretty well, considering how divided the country is, and the hand he was dealt.
Something has to give; our democracy is fraying. If not Orange Stalin, we are in serious danger that the next Republican will be someone more clever, but just as amoral. God forbid we see another Nixon.
That’s because you fuckers want Biden and aren’t even willing to try and get someone better.
You guys are all so scared of what will happen when you fail that you don’t give yourselves a chance to succeed
he’s basically a younger version of biden. keep in mind, most democrats are not complaining about his age, rather… literally everything else. though also his age is a concern in the implications. (He’s been a senator longer than I’ve been alive… he’s literally partly responsible for how we got into this mess.)
His girlfriend would’ve been there, but she goes to another school
In Canada, you don’t know her, but he has a pic proving that she is real! :-D
“Government Repair Truck Coffee Conversations”
WTF does that even mean? Maybe that’s part of the problem?
Here’s his platform if anybody wants to read it. I took a brief look and he doesn’t look materially different from Biden. And Biden at least knows to cancel an event when it’s 20 degrees and the roads are still being plowed. I hope.
I think the big problem in America is that we don’t know what better even looks like anymore. Yeah, I could work and fight and donate and call and text for Dean Philips and I’ll get more of the same. Or we might get worse, because Trump can at least draw flies.
The system is broken, and we all feel it.
It was literally like the first really cold day after the first decent snow storm this winter in New England, and it’s a weekday. I wouldn’t have gone even if I knew who the hell he is.
The primary candidate has already been chosen for the Democrats. Biden is probably the only candidate that stands a chance against Trump which is pretty fucking sad.
He’s the only one who stands a chance because he’s effectively demanding the nomination (not an unusual stance from the party’s incumbent). Any prominent Democrat could beat Trump, and probably more reliably than Biden given the polling and his unfavorables, but no one of stature will challenge Biden and risk splitting the party. Biden is not our best chance, but he’s the only chance we’re going to get.
First of all, I love that name and am sad he didn’t finish the third one.
Second of all, Biden only wins if we give up on running someone better.
If the democrats run Biden and lose, we deserve what we get for settling for half measures
Biden only wins if we get off our asses and Vote which is not helped by infighting over a futile attempt to unset the incumbent.
It might sound like conspiracy theory, but the Democratic incumbent is already rigged as the candidate unless something happens to Biden.
I didn’t know there was a third in the works. Source? More interestingly, was there a title?
