    Wow, this thread is full of Russian bots and Trump supporters. Biden is the picture of health, extremely spry and cognizant, personally, I thought he handled himself very well in the debates, despite the media attacking him unfairly over his stutter. Regardless, he’s the nominee, whether you like him or not, no amount of complaining will change that. He’s the lesser evil so we’re stuck with him and you just have to vote for him, unconditionally.

      There’s actually a really fun followup missing where they talk about how Harris gives them hope that they didn’t have with Biden and how they can finally see victory.

      But I could see how we would miss that because it was a really brief window before we actually just return to above because “now is not the time to be voicing opinions to your leaders and telling them what you want from their potential win to get your vote” and they went right back to we needed cult like following of Biden because we can all agree Harris offered nothing.

      Great satire.

      You should write for the neo-liberal propaganda machine.

        I learn from the best! This comment would have been unironically upvoted a year ago by all the people downvoting it now.

          I dunno. I upvoted it, because it’s a really spot-on parody of the kind of comments a lot of people were making last fall. At the time, though, I was more or less in that camp. Not because I actually wanted Biden, but because it seemed like we were stuck with him as the nominee, and Trump was the only alternative.

      Yeah, because voting third party has got you what so far? You’re just a pot calling a kettle black. Both you and the people you’re making fun of are equally useless.

        The problem is we don’t want to solve these problems.

        So they don’t get solved.

        You’re exactly right. There’s absolutely no way to influence the Democratic party’s decisions through criticism or making it clear that they’re on track to lose. Joe Biden is who we’re stuck with and if you say you won’t vote for him, you’re completely useless. He’s the only one who can beat Trump.

        Strangely, he wasn’t listed on my ballot so I just had to write him in.
