There are millions of voters who, for reasons I will never understand, are still undecided. At some point, fighting over your candidate doesn’t inspire outsiders as to your party’s vision for governance. You’ll never sell a message of “We’re the party that will defeat fascism!” if half your efforts are spent essentially rehashing the primary. Seriously, the Dems right now look like a low budget version of Spartacus.
Biden, whether through serious belief or the obstinance that comes from advanced age, is not going to step aside. Continuing to publicly fight that, rather than unite behind a single party-wide message, only makes the Dems look weak.
And no, I’m not saying Biden shouldn’t step aside or that he is the best candidate. But party unity is the key to defeating the GOP and if Biden won’t withdraw, we work with that.
I mean, we Americans are certainly well-known for our quick critical-thinking skills, our ability to be reasonable and of course our willingness to compromise for the greater good.
Hell, the day before the election is just as good - especially if you don’t actually care about winning and/or enacting critical policies/legislation we need
India is roughly a billion people; The largest democracy in the world. I think they get it all done in 3 months. They also just had an election this year.
The US is kinda unique, having years long presedental campaigns. It’s crazy, and complety, unnecessarily, excessive.
There’s no reason for it, beyond driving donations for parties, and ratings for news networks.
But it’s the insanity we have. The insanity we’ve gotten used to.
But until that day there is no reason not to argue for someone better.
And in that we’re in absolute agreement!
I disagree.

Seriously! 4 weeks of plenty of time

Exactly. Briton just had an entire election in 6 weeks!
Imagine, only 6 weeks for an entire campaign ‘season’!
Glorious
Sorry, bro. I was being sarcastic. As much as I’d love what you’re putting down I absolutely do not think Americans are capable of anything like that
Most Americans can barely read. That’s where we’re at, over here
Then again, Britain is how many times smaller than the USA with how many times less electors and how many times less subdivisions in the country?

Such as?
Almost anyone. Preferably someone I’ve never heard of.
An outsider. Someone on the margins of society who doesn’t see things like we do, like a homeless person.
You got my vote!
