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?
Biden will not win a rematch IMO. I think most of the career dems know that.
Your opinion is not worthy of debate. Let's talk real numbers, policy, and potential outcomes based on said numbers and policies.
The people who plug their ears at the notion of going 3rd party are the same dorks who got "blindsided" when Trump won in 2016.
If the Dems run Biden, I genuinely think it will be Trump. I do not want it to be Trump.
Enough of the older lemmy crowd seem to ignore the fact that the zooms have like 8-9(?) years of eligible voters who are all decently pissed about the middle east. We keep seeing record turnouts amongst the youth each/every year. So like...I just hate to see that most of the responses were of the "who tf cares what they do? they won't vote either way" is lame as shit.
If you genuinely all think this is gunna be a slam dunk for Biden, why not run a different/younger candidate? If anybody can beat Trump, why Biden specifically? I'm only 3rd party if it's Biden again, not a threat. I just can't reasonably vote for him or Trump. I won't do it.
Tell Joe to pass on the torch to somebody w/ an active pulse and I'll take the DNC a bit more seriously.. Obviously pushing to the right isn't fucking working because the other dorks are voting R regardless.
Give me a real candidate. Anybody under the age 59 (fuck you Kamala) and you've got my vote.
