After much soul-searching, I've finally come to the decision that I must vote for Joe Biden as the only candidate capable of defeating fascism and preserving Democracy in November. I didn't want to do this, but I've been convinced that there's simply no alternative.

I'm afraid any write-in candidate is a vote for Trump. I don't like it, but that's just how our Democracy™ works

[-] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

When I said I was "ridin' with Biden" I meant to the end.

This is sad. I was looking forward to him dying one day before the election.

Yeah but the pandemonium would not be as chaotic

Synthesis: Biden still dying this year and Trump dying of COVID on Election Day

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 3 months ago

True. I had forgotten the Trump could die too.

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah, he's still the oldest party nominee in US history and judging by his needing to use the military hospital experimental cocktail in 2020, his health probably isn't that great

he has yet to appear publicly....

LMAO

Didn't he just tell everyone that Coconut Lady was unqualified to be president?

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 3 months ago

Yeah, but it seemed like he misspoke. In the same sentence, he referred to her as VP Trump.

[-] landlords_morghulis@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 3 months ago

"What concerns do you have about Vice President Harris' ability to beat Donald Trump if she were at the top of the ticket?"

"Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President, but I think she's not qualified to be president, so let's start there. Number one."

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 3 months ago

Ah, I must have misheard it then.

That's what I keep hearing. He does slur the "but" a somewhat. He also might be saying "so"?

[-] Balefirex@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He says "I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President if I think she's not qualified to be president."

He's saying he has confidence in Kamala because VP is first in line of succession. Genocide Joe has a melted brain but you're def reading this wrong.

[-] landlords_morghulis@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 3 months ago

You, ummm, changed some words there.

[-] Balefirex@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

dawg there are so many legitimate angles to attack Biden and Kamala but this is not one of them, he wasn't saying Kamala was unqualified

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 months ago

That's what he said. Or at least what he meant when he tried to say it.

I changed 'if I didn't think' -> 'if I think she's not', brain auto-corrected the phrasing. Meaning is still the same.

[-] landlords_morghulis@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Thank you for admitting that you changed what you said

[-] rostselmasch@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 3 months ago

Things are getting more and more interesting

[-] AlbigensianGhoul@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Although I don't think this is going to change the result (Trump is still going to win, USA will remain a stagnant imperialist country), it's going to be very fun watching the chaos unfold within the blue party.

It's not even clear if Kamala is actually going to be selected candidate. As entertainment, I love it.
