I know that it’s popular to dismiss President Biden. I get it. He’s old. This is the first election featuring the 2 oldest candidates, ever. So what? The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election. To boot Biden from the ticket and try to bootstrap another candidate is madness. Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP will succeed is like firing the cook and hoping the dishwasher will give you Michelin-quality food. Stick with the old man, and figure out a way to enact his popular policies while also expanding the Supreme Court, enacting term limits and limiting “Christian” Nationalists.

    feels like a bait post

    figure out a way to enact his popular policies

    Shouldn’t… shouldn’t he be trying to enact policies that the Democratic party supporters, progressives, liberals want? That seems to be what’s sinking his re-election chances.

    People don’t want the genocide in Palestine to continue, but Joe is going to keep it going.

    People don’t want the USA to keep getting in the way of Russia and Ukraine ending the war there but Joe seems to be fine keeping it going.

    People in general are pretty cool with transgender people getting proper healthcare throughout their lives. Biden’s administration puts out messaging saying that trans healthcare is harmful to trans people so its okay to limit or ban it.

    People are okay with abortion services being a thing. Biden is a pro-life candidate and hasn’t really been doing anything to codify abortion services into any federal law.

    People would like more affordable electric commuter vehicles. Biden’s administration tariffs the shit out of Chinese manufactured electric vehicles available for import with some weak argument about it being “unfair.”

    There’s probably more examples but shrugs its not like Biden is going to do anything. Waiting until the last few months before elections to suddenly put out messaging about changing how the supreme court is staffed instead of doing it almost four years ago when everybody was talking about how Trump got to pack the SC with only the ripest of reactionary picks and all the ways Biden could curb the effect the SC has on US politics/laws, feels too much like closing the barn doors after all the animals have got loose.
