    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.
