    This won’t happen unless it looks assured that Trump won’t win. That’s basically the only reason Ole Joe has stuck around.

      No… that’s the only reasonexcuse Biden is giving.

      Probably because he can’t say the real reasons. Which, if you take it at face value… it’s a joke because if he stepped aside for someone else, all the “vote for Biden or else” crowd would happily switch to thst someone else.

      That’s basically the only reason Ole Joe has stuck around.

      He basically straight-up said that:

      If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running

        Yeah, but he also said in that same interaction that “at least 50” other Dems can beat him.

        So its not that he thinks he’s the only one that can beat trump and that’s why he’s running.

        It’s either a pride thing, or similar to Hillary he thinks trump is the easiest possible opponent and he’s will to risk it so he can be president

          I think you’re misunderstanding those two phrases.

          “I think I can beat trump” and “50 democrats at beat me” does not mean that “50 democrats can beat trump”.

          Primaries are different than general elections.

            In what world would the “him” Joe Biden is saying 50 other Dems can beat referring to anyone besides trump?

            And why are you talking about primaries?

            The party won’t support a primary against Bide as an incumbent. So there just flat out isn’t going to even be a primary.

      That actually wouldn’t be a bad scenario:

      Trump gets convicted, sent to jail, is no longer the nominee, DeSantis or Haley gets the nod at the RNC in July.

      Biden goes “thanks but no thanks” and either Harris or Newsom gets the nod at the DNC in August.

      There is a full month between the Republican and Democratic nominations.

          Both parties are just as bad – look at me posture! Notice me senpai. Dude there is no comparison in american politics right now. One is not left enough and the other is proto fascist. Fuck out here with that rhetoric.

            Just an fyi you are blindly repeating corporate media talking points without reading what you are responding to or reading what you are saying. It doesn’t make any sense.

            No one said the things you are saying they said.

              That’s rich coming from somebody who’s repeating conservative propaganda that “both sides are bad”. Even if there are things you don’t like about the Democrats it’s not even a fucking choice at the moment.

              Also I attacked you for your both sides attitude. If this attitude becomes prevalent in the United States the election goes to Trump which would be very very very bad indeed, and frankly it’s just doesn’t align with reality. Where exactly did the corporate propaganda touch you?

        No this man is serious about his commitments. I don’t think he would. People said this BS during the 2020 elections and yet here we are.
