Biden is the Democratic nominee against Trump. Get over it. (lemmy.world)

I'm sick of posts complaining about Biden's debate performance, or his age, or his response to Gaza. Comments saying he should step aside or "we coulda had Bernie."

Shut the fuck up.

Biden is the nominee. He is the person Americans need to vote for to prevent another Trump presidency. Simple as that. There is no other option. The DNC isn't going to change their nominee in July of an election year. You're an idiot if you genuinely think otherwise.

It's fine to criticize a president. Even one you support. But we are four months from the next election and all posts and comments attacking Biden right now are fuel for Trump. I don't care if you're a Russian troll or a well-meaning progressive. Criticizing Biden right now helps Trump win. Full stop.

Get your heads out of your asses and realize what is at stake.

I wonder if Harris (VP) is now going to cause a Sarah Palin dynamic.

I’m not a USian or plugged in that much, so it might have happened already.

But if she’s as unpopular as I hear, and Biden looks like he’s on his death bed, a Biden vote practically becomes a Harris vote. How does that play out against Trump?

EDIT: lol ... downvotes. There's a difference between a question or thought that's plain wrong and one that you just don't like however relevant it might be. I have no particular views on Harris (and she's clearly no Palin, in a good way) ... I've just heard that she's not particularly viable electorally and figure that this dynamic could be real now in ways it wasn't at all in 2020.

I don't want Harris, but i understand that she's likely going to finish the term if Biden wins. I'm willing to vote for that to try to keep the other guy out. If he had someone else as a VP, people would be more on board. Also, if she had been out and about more in the last year or two i think people wouldn't be so concerned.

I like Harris. That’s another reason to vote for Biden. While Harris doesn’t particularly excite me i think I like that in a political figure. Politics should be boring and not like the wwf that we seem to have now.
