      This is true, but I think it’s even more simple than this.

      They want a specific guy to win.

      While we want specific policies to win.

        If I wanted specific policies to win there’s nobody available to vote for. Unless you think “the one viable option that isn’t theocratic fascism or a reich” is a policy, since that’s what I’m voting for this year.

      Jesus fucking christ Lemmy has jumped the shark.

      We criticized Biden because we wanted a shot at winning and he didn’t have one.

      Trump as an opponent is the best shot Democrats have for winning. He’s deeply unpopular.

      It’s shocking ho idiotic takes like this are.

          To imply that everyone criticizing Biden’s age and mental competency was arguing in bad faith is complete bs. Anyone who has seen or heard him speak can rationally argue this man should not be president and will lose against trump. Anyone paying attention could reasonable say there are dozens of better candidates as the democratic nominee. I’m glad people spoke up otherwise this election looks far worse. This headline and the comment I replied to and deleted (the comment you are quoting here) is donor-class pissing

      Wait, the people who criticized Joe Biden or the people who are claiming nobody has criticized Trump for his age?

      Seems like this whole thread is just rage-bait.
