You maybe should have tried this before 2024. This is gonna go on to November now. Just go vote for him. Old as he is.
Yeah... We're all going to vote for him if he's the nominee... But he's still going to lose... That's the point, the point progressives have been making all along. BIDEN. WILL. LOSE. Like the sun will rise in the east, it's just a fact of nature. They need to nominate someone who will get Gen z excited to come out, so at least there's a chance of stopping Trump.
The state of the election is such that turnout is going to tank. Libs and Cons are both very worried who the indie voter aligns with, but I'm betting a bunch of people simply don't vote in November.
If the DNC would get their heads out of their asses (a longshot, ik) and voted in another viable, smart candidate they could turn voter apathy around in a heartbeat.
Too bad they seem to be happy with the power status quo and fail to see the real danger they are in if/when Trump wins ... cause he would not be adverse to using guillotines or nooses to fix that 'problem'.
Candidates that inspire voters are (edit: Not) obsequious to corporate interests.
I feel like the opposite is true?
:-p Disastrous typo
People staying home historically effects Democrats far more than Republicans. That's why Dems win when people are excited about a candidate and more people actually show up.
Trump has changed the math, somewhat. High energy elections tend to benefit Trump-y candidates and hurt the milquetoast Dems. Low energy elections favor Bidencrats.
