    This thread exemplifies the little naive echo chamber you”Biden needs to step down” people are in. There’s no scenario where any other candidate can do better this late in the election. This is “Bernie or Bust” all over again.

    Interestingly, many of the talking points have shifted from “Genocide Joe” to this. Nothing more than the next wave of disinformation joined by a bunch of naive people who don’t know how far off their opinions are from the rest of the country.

      I appreciate this perspective, but I would recommend reading Robert Reich’s message. The billionaire donors aren’t just a little naive echo chamber, they fund the campaign.

        They also funded Hilary’s campaign. I didn’t want Biden to begin. Most ppl didn’t want Biden. Now all of the sudden with 4 months to go the high class donors feel they know better now and want him to step down. You had over 2 years to do this. These aren’t the first fundraisers Biden has had.

        Trump is going to win because the DNC are a dysfunctional mess that’s more concerned with being the king maker instead of listening to the public. No other candidate is going to get swing voters and 4 months isn’t enough time to counter Republicans who have been campaigning since Biden won.

        I fucking hate being stuck with democrats. If there was ANY other viable party that I could vote for beside these two dumbass parties I would

        Hey, I voted for Bernie and really wanted him to win, but the Bernie or Bust mentality is how we ended up with Trump so… falls right into Russian propoganda reasoning.
