Conservatives joke that progressives just blow with the wind from one controversy to the next. But I can’t help but notice the anti-Biden “left” shifted hard from Genocide Joe to Bad debate Performance without skipping a beat or looking back.

Almost like the people stoking these fires don’t really care about left issues at all.

        What? How is that vague? I’m saying I’m open to whoever replaces him, why is that difficult to understand? It’s an incredibly flexible position, dealers choice as long as it’s not Biden or Clinton.

        Does the super low bar make it difficult for you to try and make me seem unreasonable or uncompromising? Is that what this is? It just breaks the script you had prepped or something?

            Why are you unable to accept that I’d literally vote for anyone besides Biden or Clinton, that makes no sense.

            If he steps down it’s not going to be an open primary, so it doesn’t matter what my ideal preference is because it’s the convention that would be picking the nominee, or it would possibly be Harris.

            So I’m saying whoever that party pick is, I’d vote for them, and you’re saying that’s unacceptable for whatever reason. It’s Schrodinger’s politician, I don’t know who they’re going to pick until they pick them, and at the moment that they do select someone I will know who I’m voting for.

              That’s the second time you’ve brought up Clinton.

              When did she start running again?

              I’m asking how you think has a chance because I’m curious but it sounds like you think Biden is the absolute worse choice if you’d rather vote anyone else besides him.

                I’m listing the two politicians I wouldn’t vote for, since it’s quicker than listing the ones I would vote for.

                Mention Clinton I’m just addressing a potential, since the neoliberal media was trying to float the idea few months back of replacing Harris with Clinton. I’ve learned not to underestimate the lengths Democrats will go to in order to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, I could see them trying to do something stupid like trying to nominate Clinton in the event Biden is convinced to step down. You wanted specifics, so I gave them.

                it sounds like you think Biden is the absolute worse choice if you’d rather vote anyone else besides him.

                Now you’re getting it!

      Anyone/anything. A dog, a pile of sawdust, don’t care as long as it’s not a genocidal right-winger.

      This tells me you don’t have zero idea what it takes to satisfy the gape of the fence-sitters needed to beat Trump.

        Democrats win when the left comes out, not the vapor that is undecided voters.

        Anyone undecided about Trump at this point is not worth wasting your breath on.

          Democrats, have for a decent period of time, showed up. Look at the votes in major elections since 2008. Republicans have only won on technicalities for a while now, exploiting weak points of our system like voter suppression/partisan judges/foreign assistance. When all that fails they attempt a coup.

          You may think centrists are not worth your time, but they decide the purple electoral votes, and those are pivotal to winning outright. You will die of lack of oxygen holding your breath for them.

        Are there fence-sitters? Pretty sure there are basically only dedicated Trump voters and people who’d vote for anyone but Trump.

          If you have to ask if there are centrists who vote for whoever ruffles the least amount of feathers, I don’t even know what to say to you. You have literally zero idea why both parties spend millions on capturing that vote. You can’t fathom that there are people just fine with the status quo.

          I can’t believe you actually asked that lmaoooo
