The voters couldn't even practically choose anyone other than Biden in that sham of a primary. People were warning about Biden since long before the primary and yet democratic party leadership decided they knew better than the voters and forced him through. Now you're blaming their fuck up on voters.

The general election isn't for another four months. That is the time to STFU and vote. Although who are we kidding, >90% of people live somewhere where their votes barely matter if at all - maybe, maybe helping Trump voters see that Biden's re-election is "real", but otherwise every city will vote Dem and every rural area will vote Repub and there's like 10 counties that will determine the course of the entire world for the foreseeable future. Btw I'm not worried about either me or you, but I am worried about the independents in those 10 counties.

Our news media is out for blood, like sharks in the water. Right or wrong, or left or whatever, they don't care, they smell PROFIT to be made by ruthlessly making fun of every tiny thing that Biden will do from now on. We ignore this at our peril - I'm not saying that I take evil glee from this horrid fact, merely that this inconvenient truth should be accounted for. We can bow before facts, or we can be crushed by them in turn - but either way, we will have to reconcile with them. The choice is whether we do so before, and use them to turn the situation to our advantage as best we can, or whether we wake up some day later wishing that we had done so previously. Exactly like 2016 with Hillary, or like that other time with RBG, but this time there will be no second chances, bc this at least looks to be our last election. Maybe second to last, possibly with yet another interspersal of another Dem, but there are no guarantees for such - Trump has already declared his intentions to become a dictator, and SCOTUS has already made it legal for him to do so.

And in the midst of all of this, with the stakes higher than they've ever been for our little democracy experiment... Biden, well, "has a cold". Okay then, so hype up on crack, cocaine, or whatever you need to do, just get it done, or move aside and let Gavin Newsom or Pete Buttigieg or AOC or Gretchen Whitmer or whoever take the lead. This is not the time to be playing authoritian games with our literal democracy at stake. BuT hE's OuR lEaDeR? Then LEAD. He's old - it's not his fault, but the Democratic primary choosing him would be our fault.

I agree that they had some kind of strategy in place. It relied on deception. It failed. Now that the cat is out of the bag, and we all saw what has been happening with our very own eyes and heard it with our very own ears, the strategy of telling everyone "he's fine, you don't see it but behind closed doors everything is totally fine, I totally have a girlfriend, you don't know her bc she goes to another school, in fact she's in Canada, but we are totally happy together... t-t-totally, yeah!" - this approach (!?!), is backfiring.

People are tire of being lied to. They won't vote. Trump now has a greater likelihood of winning. That's... no bueno.:-( Maybe we should do something about it? Something other than simply saying "what are you going to do?", before it's too late and nothing is all that can be done, as it gets even later in the game. It might be time to update the strategy, to fit the new set of updated facts. Otherwise, we roll the dice and hope for the best - but now is our last chance to affect change, if we really do want to see Trump not win?

All the voters can do is vote.

And protest, and contact representatives, and organize, and join their local party... Again with the national party lines meant to make people disengage.
