Honestly, him dying is very real concern to me. If Republicans keep the House and he passes away, I can certainly see somebody trying to do something to Kamala Harris, as the Speaker of the House is next in line after the Vice President.
That said, I’d vote for Joe Biden if he was fucking 110, if the other option was Donald Trump. Or any Republican honestly.
That’s been the dem strategy for 50 years. Not for anything we need, just less shitty then the worst of the worst. It’s why nothing ever gets better. Two capitalist parties fucking us.
It’s a sad state of affairs. It pains me when you see the same insanity trope play out year after year that we need to elect centrist/moderate candidates to cater to ignorance.
It deflates the energy in the grass-roots progressive movement that tends to do a lot of the inspiration for the Dems. We thus have low Voter enthusiasm (a polled metric in both 2016 and 2020). Then what inevitably happens is all that catering to moderates does little, Republicans hate us anyway, and the Overton Window continues to shift right.
I’d rather have a left party not filled with geriatric fascists or neo libs that stands for something I believe in, rather than a false choice of who is less shitty between two capitalist dumpster fires.
One is an out-and-out unapologetic fascist and the other is an old grandpa.
I’d rather have the old grandpa. The worst he could do is die.

What if the other option was an actual Elephant?
If only so I can see how they get him/her inside Air Force One, yes.
Ah yes, Operation Dumbo Drop suddenly makes sense.
I just wish any party could put forth a candidate actually worth voting for.
From an outside perspective both look very fascist to me. One is overt about it and the other is covert.
They’re both old grandpas.
No. Trump is a grandfather. There’s a difference. Grandpas love their grandchildren.

That would be nice, but that is not a choice we have.
Not with that attitude and shortage of guillotines.
Unfortunately, there was no real primary, so we weren’t really given much of a choice now, were we?
Some democracy we have.
