Yes, Kamala, Newsom, who the fuck ever. Biden isn't on this ticket because there was nobody else, he is on this ticket because they shoehorned in a sock puppet. The poor old man at one point had a name for himself but since there are a bunch of people around him that wanted to profit off the name he made for himself, he has instead turned into a senile old man on the public stage. That is the stamp he leaves in the history books because he is surrounded by shitbags that are taking advantage of an old man who cannot cognitively make decisions for himself anymore.
There was a laundry list of candidates pushed out for him last cycle and they refused to primary him this cycle, because they can take advantage of him, worst case scenario they get Trump to lower the bar further for 2028.
I would vote for any one of those people a thousand times over putting Biden or the country through what is happening now. AND SO WOULD ANYONE ELSE. If you think centrist dems will vote for Trump because the other option is a gay man, that's crazy. If you think the far left will vote for Trump over Kamala because she's a cop, you're crazy. One thing a LOT of people won't vote for is an old man that can't even fucking talk.
I will vote for Biden if that's all that's offered purely because I can handle stupidity due to an actual mental deficit. I can't handle the willful ignorance of facts and pure evil from Trump and his cronies. Most people (and I am not referring to the type of people cruising a politics sub) just won't fucking vote.
Its not centrist dems who are in charge of this situation. Its Joe "Independent" who kinda-sorta is flirting with Ron DeSantis's Don't Say Gay bill and has eaten 8 years of anti-Democratic women propaganda from the right. Kamala is a difficult to pronounce name and she ain't exactly white looking. My racist buddies don't like her face or how she talks.
Honestly, I think Kamala has a chance vs Trump directly. She's much more of a "fighter" type and I actually think her lawyer background would keep her more witty than both Trump and Biden. But you're severely mistaken about the nature of Kamala's problem as a Presidential top-of-the-line leader of the Democrats.
People in the USA are racist fucks, and the moderates who flip the vote are "mildly racist" (not enough to say they're against Kamala or Clinton on womanhood alone, but instead use weasel words like "Not strong enough" or "Bad politics for Russia", etc. etc.).
The main benefit we anti-Trumpers have going for us (note: I'm not a liberal), is that you Liberals have +4 more years off GenZ entering the voting pool and Conservatives have -4 years of Baby Boomers dying off.
GenZ / Youth Vote is famously finicky but if everyone just votes the same as 2020, this is all quite in Biden's favor actually. Do you think Biden's performance yesterday was truly so bad that "Joe Moderate" is flipping over to Trump now?
I don't think so. Add the GenZ (however tepid their turnout will be) and we got this.
