Joe Biden has the authority to resign. Joe Biden can choose to not run in 2024. If he cared about preserving democracy, he would let someone more electible take his place.
If things go wrong, it's the fault of the people in power.
Joe Biden has already beat Donald Trump in an election. More electable makes no sense in this context.
The only way Biden could lose is if some of the people who voted for him last time, after everything that's happened since Trump lost the election, decide 'ehh, that Trump guy wasn't so bad, let's give him another shot' and decide not to vote against Trump.
Biden won an election during Covid lockdown where he wasn’t expected to actually campaign. I don’t think he can win again. It’s sad, but he’s an awful candidate.
But he did campaign. And people showed up to his campaign stops. Where are you getting your information from?
Literally anyone can beat Trump, but they are gonna push Biden who might not, because reasons? Source: https://archive.ph/2023.11.07-084936/https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/06/an-ominous-poll-democrats-what-it-says-about-biden-alternative/
"Who might not"
Do you know how chance works?

Your opinion is not worthy of debate. Let's talk real numbers, policy, and potential outcomes based on said numbers and policies.

The incumbent president has only lost 10 times in US history (and one of those was Trump). Biden already beat Trump once. Who has a better resume than that?
Seriously. Tell us a name.
Not to mention Biden actually had a great run and got a shitload done, but this is what you get when you have 24/7 banana republic propaganda blaring in people's homes.
Also Lemmy itself. This place is a cesspool of mis and disinformation. I come here to waste a little time mindlessly doom-scrolling and shouting into the void, not because I actually think that I'll find informed, intelligent and insightful comments.
Why isn't he electable? He was already elected. Are you saying he's old? Trump is 3 years younger. Before Biden, Trump was the oldest president of all time.

If you agree with something, click 'up vote' and walk away.
Your comments, much like your entire existence, adds nothing of substance or use to the world.

Came here to say this. If the dems actually cared about winning and preserving any last inkling of democracy the states still has then they would replace Biden with literally any other candidate.
I'm all ears, who would be the better candidate? Because I want that person running for Senate in all the states that might be up for grabs.
The president won't matter if we lose control of the Senate AND the house. Well either be fucked or stuck in a deadlock like we are now

You think Kamela Harris has a better chance of beating Trump?

You said literally anybody. Was that not true?

Zoomers don't matter. Young people don't vote. Elections are decided by adults, and the average age of high political activity in America is from the 50 And over crowd.

Biden is all of 3 years older than Trump and more coherent than Trump was 20 years ago. It's such a bizarre fixation.
And you think Harris has a better shot when she literally has the lowest rating of any VP in the history of NBC News polls? When she consistently polls lower than Biden? When Mike Pence who was literally threatened with hanging by his own supporters had a higher approval rating? Get real.

I will say it again and again until it sinks in. The options are Biden or Trump. There is no third option. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been paying attention.
reductionist stupidity
