It was the responsibility of the Dems to put up a competent candidate, but instead they put up someone whose mental acuity is clearly in decline and will only get worse as the years go on. If they wanted me to cast an affirmative vote for a Dem they needed to do way better than this. I won’t vote for Trump but I cannot vote for Biden either. If that is tantamount to voting for Trump then they need to take a look in the mirror and figure out why they thought running an old man with fading cognitive abilities was the answer. |
Relax, the Dems will put up a competent candidate after Biden's announcement which is coming sooner than later. That competent candidate will crush Trump because let's not forget who and what Trump is. We don't need a superman candidate. Just an average one. |
No, but it needs to be the right one. Newsom will not win for instance. |
Splits and fractures the party right in half. |
The Dems will? What about the primaries? Why have them if you're going to replace my candidate willy-nilly? |
Because they look at voters with nothing but contempt. |
Biden won't be "replaced", silly. He will announce that he won't accept the party nomination in 2024. That's the right thing for him to do and the only way we'll be guaranteed not to have Trump back in The White House. |
Newsom, as a Californian politician, would be a poor choice against a legitimate GOP opposition candidate. Let's not forget how awful and weak Trump is as a candidate. His only chance at winning is Biden remaining in the race. Newsom would easily beat Trump. |
I'm not so sure. He comes across as sociopathic, and very much like a young Trump. |
I liked our country better when no electoral result was guaranteed. Politicians actually had to earn the votes. Now it’s becoming more Soviet with every election cycle, what with the predetermined results as seen in 2020 and the 2024 Democratic primary. |
Have you paid attention to Newsom lately? In the past year or two, he has really tacked right, from left to center. Possibly with presidential aspirations but I think more out of pragmatism for what needs to be done in his state. |
Every poll putting Trump up against Newsom has shown Trump winning handily (4-14 points). |
And you have all the reasoning of a petulant adolescent. |
Nothing about his recently passed budget was right to center. He has destroyed the economics in his own state. |
