Because it drives ratings and all the dumbasses who pick it up and run with it are the same ones who followed “this is how Bernie can still win.” I’ve already seen multiple people say “we could have AOC!” as if that is at all realistic. And although she is the most “out there” fan fic pick there are still plenty of others who would immediately be torn apart.
Choosing a different horse at this point leads to a Mondale style wipeout.
Funny how everyone latches onto “generic democrat polls better” polls that would IMMEDIATELY shift as soon Biden drops and they come in.
It would:
- signal Democrats have no idea what they’re doing
- Put out the feeling they’re terrified
- Open up a new candidate to attacks “they’re too left, they’re too soft on crime, they’re …”
- Give up the incumbency advantage and it IS an advantage.
Why anyone is still on this “drop out Biden” crap is beyond me. His interview was fine (notice how no one is bringing that up in comparison to one bad debate). Trump has MULTIPLE times looked confused and out of it on this campaign trail let alone all the years before (notice how no one brings that up.) Project 2025 should scare the living daylights out of anyone- Republican, Democrat, or independent and especially in light of the relatively progressive and largely relaxed time of Biden’s admin…
To me this is nothing but a Republican plan come to fruition by latching on whatever they could and a bunch of dummies running with it. And by dummies I mean people who don’t like Biden and see this as their perfect chance to drop him, even if their preferred younger candidate gets absolutely stomped in the election. They’d rather have “their way” even if it means giving up the presidency.
Hold the line- Biden will be fine.
Trump did not speak confidently.
He ignored the questions, he lied with abandon, and the moderators did nothing about it. Biden couldn’t keep up with the flood of lies to refute it all.
Im quite sure Biden is capable of lying just as quickly and confidently but he is a better person than that. He actually came to debate, not spit in our faces by lying right to us.
Except your arguments against Biden easily apply, and more so, against trump. He is absolutely not all there, a mere three years younger, and certainly not competent (and absolutely corrupt on top of that.)
The simple answer is- people expect Republicans to be degenerates. They don’t expect that of Democrats. It’s nothing but a shitty double standard we’ve let dictate politics for decades.
The stupid average voter is barely even aware of anything, let alone one bad debate. They haven’t had to think about Biden for four years. They won’t even remember that come November if they ever did hear of it.
You’re trading complacency and incumbency for a complete unknown. That’s the dumbest fucking thing you can do, to put it lightly.
