    Leftist started grumbling about Biden’s inadequacy right after he barely won the general. They started yelling after he sold out railway workers. They started sounding alarm bells once his polling started to trail Trump’s during the latter’s multiple concurrent criminal cases. They started screeching once the genocide started on Oct 7.

    For you to sit here now and throw your hands up saying “well its too late! we don’t have an alternative!” does nothing other than show how ignorant you have been these past few years. Your head has been in the sand, and this backslide into fascism we’re seeing now is the only logical conclusion. The leftists were right about Biden all along, and that is becoming increasingly clear as time goes on.

      You can’t even come up with a name, but yes, let’s vote for 'Theoretical Better Candidate."

        Pritzker. Easy. And?

        Pretty much any blue state governor would’ve been a strong option about a year ago is Biden had endorsed them during the presidential primary.

          Who?

          I follow politics and I honestly never heard of them.

          And your second sentence presupposes a time machine.

              I’ve heard of Newsom. I don’t know who this guy is, and apparently he’s not interested in the job. Both Sanders and Clinton have come out in favor of Biden. But I’ll make you a deal. If someone with a reasonable chance pops up, I’ll vote for them, if you promise to vote for Biden. Deal?

                My vote really doesn’t matter in my state for president (way too partisan) and it doesn’t change that Biden is likely going to lose the electoral college. So, uh, sure. Costs me nothing, maybe gets someone to support reason with a replacement. Easy deal.

      Yeah, I was one of the leftists calling Biden a good for nothing fuckhead for the past 3 years. And then new year’s day 2024 happened, and like every leftist I started focusing on preventing a fascist from winning the general election. At first that meant pushing for other candidates in the primary, and now it means helping Biden win.

      Meanwhile, the politically aware centrists who had been cooperating with the left for the past three years, continued to try and prevent a Democrat presidency in 2024 because Both Sides Bad
