Seems to be universally beloved,
Not outside of deeply Democratic circles. And as much as I wish we could rely solely on right-thinking Democrats, we need a majority of voters.
Cripple. History Major. Vaguely Left-Wing.

What do you want us to do come November?
They want you to ensure Trump gets elected, of course. For some reason, that seems to be the sole goal of their very ‘original’ form of leftism.
Some people genuinely do not pay attention to current affairs until ten seconds before election day, and then get flustered by the competing narratives. That’s an option too.
Is she less charismatic than current Biden though…?
Biden after the debate? Definitely less charismatic.
Biden during the debate? Probably less charismatic.
I’ve seen her get flustered by enough softball questions to have no faith in her ability to persuade the electorate of her competence, regardless of whether she is competent or not.
Voters don’t expect everything to get fixed overnight
Voters aren’t even clear on what separation of powers means, much less the realities of the political processes of the government. Voters absolutely expect everything to get fixed overnight, and throw fits when it isn’t. Remember 2010?
So that way you have a say in which of the two viable choices (in most elections) are presented to the electorate?
Unless you’re part of some locally competitive party that has primaries, in which case I understand.
Harris is the most viable option, but she’s also less charismatic than Biden, and is a “Monkey’s Paw” style answer to those on the left calling for a non-Biden candidate.
Regardless of whether we stay with Biden or someone new is chosen (God, what a shitshow that will be - though depending on the discussions behind the scenes, it may be the best course)…
Vote Dem on the presidential ticket this November. Biden or his replacement. Doesn’t matter.
You’ve got a guy who tried the first autocoup in US history on the ballot, and a good 48% of the electorate who wants him back in. Not even getting into the myriad other problems.
Don’t play fucking games here.
Voting against evil doesn’t require being a member of the mediocre party.
Depends on the primary rules of your state.
Ranked choice voting starts at home. o7
Biden at least got some good "C’mon, man."s out of the chaotic format.
Yeah, there are a lot of them on here. Ignore the past ten times electing the right-wing candidate didn’t work to sway the DNC to go left, THIS time, with Mr. Day-One-Dictator it’ll totally work out. /s
Ernest said he was handing over the reigns to someone else soon. I’d like to give them a chance before I bail on Kbin. I really like Kbin.
I’m gonna give Kbin a little while longer to get its shit together, but if need be, I’ll swap to Lemmy.world in the near future.
Hope you’re right. I’m all-in for a Biden victory, of course, because I’m not a lunatic or a fascist, but God, Biden ain’t good for my nerves, that much is for sure.
Both were embarrassing. One was worse.
Oh, no doubt. I’m just not used to ‘swing voters’ agreeing with me on the subject.
I mean, I’d count ANYONE being convinced by the other night’s performance as a surprise at this point. Was not a high moment for democracy.
I guess I’m a cynic - I didn’t expect anyone not already convinced that Trump was a liar to be convinced by his usual performance. But I guess most people don’t spend their time chewing their fingers down to the bone religiously watching political developments like some of us do.
Probably healthier for them.
What, really?
I mean, holy shit, I’m not going to question divine providence from fucking Jupiter or whoever the fuck it is watching over elections, so, hey, you know, what convinces you convinces you.
Registering for primaries at least when there are primary candidates that are prominently championing ranked-choice voting might be worth considering.
