wtf is happening. This is a - rep for AOC in my eyes. She realizes the fucker is real old right? Elect someone younger please.
Its not like she has a realistic alternative. What do you want, a split democrat ticket going up against the republicans ?
Absolutely not, but I wouldn’t mind a primary
this not happening shows a HUGE problem on the left. You should feel cornered with only one choice
It’s one position. I assume Biden will keep Harris as his VP, giving a younger option to take over if need be. But there’s fucking hundreds of other positions just as valuable. Those are the ones we should be trying to overturn with primaries imo. Get the house back and widen margins for the Senate.
Just please, if you’re in the US, vote. We had a local election where I’m at recently with <15% turnout. It’s fucking maddening to me that people only show up for the president, and even that is lucky to get >60%.
I’m an ideological purist and I’m voting for Jill Stein! This won’t backfire in any way!
AOC is being smart/practical. Is Biden anyone’s first choice on the left? Fuck no. We can have some more ideological purity when the choice isn’t between milquetoast and literal fucking fascists.
Biden wasn’t even my third choice in the '20 primary. That said, he’s one of the most legislatively accomplished presidents in modern history. Still zero chance I’m going to be excited about voting for him in '24, but who has a shot at beating Trump right now? is maybe the guy that already did?
In principle I agree, but splitting the Dem vote is a good way to lose an election. Biden is a compromised candidate, but still leagues better than another 4 years of Trump. Fact is there’s no real chance of a younger president until 2028. Which is depressing.
