How many people are actually advocating for non voting?

All I see on Lemmy is people begging for a candidate with a better shot at beating trump, and then they get screeched at that only Biden can stop trump because…

Well, they never give a reason why it has to be Biden.

So, so many. PugJesus’ and my history can attest to that.

I looked at your history since you recommended it.

I don’t know why you wanted me to because it’s not relevant to what we’re talking about, but I did look at your post history like you asked.

I didn’t ask you to look at it – I’m saying I’ve had countless arguments with people saying exactly that.

Keep your eyes closed, if you like.

Edit: You also can’t have looked far. I’ve been interacting with one for the last few hours – https://lemmy.ml/u/objection

Uh, lots. There’s been a tireless effort here in leftist spaces discouraging voting for “genocide Joe” without actually providing alternatives.

Well, they never give a reason why it has to be Biden.

It’s because politics moves slowly and it’s way too late for someone else to start campaigning, plus he’s the incumbent. If you had someone in mind a year ago, it would be worth discussing. It’ll never happen in the next 4 months.

I see you arguing against the alternatives that have bern provided to you. Bold face lies like this are just the name of the game for Biden supporters.

Uh, lots.

Are they in the room with us now?

and it’s way too late for someone else to start campaigning

What’s weird, is the same people have been saying “it’s too late” have been saying that since 2021 now…

Like, the DNC essentially cancelled our primary this election, and are now saying we have to go with Biden because it’s too late…

When it’s still not too late, because the convention hasn’t happened…

And the DNC has spent the last decade saying they can do what they want because it’s a private party.

Like, it’s literally not too late…

There’s only so many ways to say this mate, the DNC hasn’t named the nominee for the general election yet

And even after they do, the DNC is a private party and they can just ignore primary results. They’ve literally paid lawyers to argue that to a judge very recently.

It’s never to late to do all we can to stop trump.

Its not too late technically, you’ve listed all sorts of technical and logistical reasons, but it’s far too late to a get a fresh face in front of people and expect them to vote for them.

That’s the too late part, it’s possible, but it would be a massive risk and very expensive as they’d need to be running ADs non stop everywhere to go from a “fresh face” to “votable face” with the general public in 4 months

Not to mention, you think the red states wouldn’t do everything they can to stop having to change their ballots? I can see it now: “We’re 4 months from the election, can’t change it now ohhh welll!” ~Shithole Red states

If Biden stepped down and Joe Schmoe from Fucking, Indiana was elevated to presidential candidate for the Democratic party, they’d be known by 80% of the country in 24 hours. The “too late” narrative continued to be pushed multiple times until it was actually too late. I think this the 4th “too late” segment in his campaign.

They could easily switch to the current vice president and get some new relatively known person on board as her running mate.

This is exactly what would happen if Biden suddenly had a major health issue.

This guy is completely lying, no one told him to abstain from the general election, he was arguing with someone because they are voting third party.

It isn’t enough for these people to cast the underprivileged into the fires, they won’t be satisfied until they’ve convinced the underprivileged to throw themselves in as an act of holier than thou defiance
