So you do or don’t think Biden can win it?
I think it will be a much harder fight if Biden does not step down, and that he has a duty to the country to step down.
Whether he can win it? It would be entirely on anti-Trump sentiment, and not at all because of his influence - which, at this point, is overall detrimental to the ticket.
Let’s put it this way - it’s a tough race, and Biden was supposed to be an extra sail for the ship. Only he turned out to be a bit of debris jutting out of the side, slowing the ship down. CAN this ship still beat the opposing one in the race? Potentially, if our ship is otherwise fast or the opposing ship slows. But it sure as hell isn’t going to be because we had some piece of rotting wood dragging in the water behind us.
An “extra sail”? He’s the president. It’s a presidential campaign. He is the ship and it’s completely submerged.
I’m sorry that you think that most Americans think like you, and would prefer to let fascism win than elect a shitty candidate to the presidency. The reality in a two-party system like our’s, and especially one with a grotesque candidate like Trump on the opposing ticket, is that people are voting for parties every bit as much as candidates.
Cmon. That’s not at all what his comment was saying. Don’t start being a dick just to be dickish.
It’s related to a different conversation we had, and discussed in the comments here regarding not voting against Trump, not a direct line drawn from “Biden is sunk” to “I should let fascism win”.
But you think he should still serve as president? At this apparent diminished capacity?
No, ideally he’d step down from the presidency too, but that’s less realistic to expect. Replacement as the candidate, on the other hand, has a real chance at this point in time.
