    Dude

    Fix the problems

    “Airing the concerns” has been accomplished, at this point, and then some.

    What’s the strategy to fuckin fix it? I don’t even want to click this but I assume it says he is old, or invented Israel, or both. So who then, instead? Is that in the article, or are we still fixated on the airing of concerns stage?

      I’m not American, but here’s my 1€…

      The trouble you have is neither keeping nor replacing Biden is clearly a better option. You’ve got two bad options, and I’ve no idea which is worse. Add on that bad actors (looking at you Russia!) are for sure trying to influence the election… who the fuck knows what the answer is.

        I generally assume that whichever option the propaganda-machine is pushing hard is probably the worse option

        It’s not quite that simple; calling for Biden’s replacement (without any particular plan for what that might look like) can be a way to attack Biden even if there is a strategic way to do it that might be worth the risk. But, all other things being equal, whichever option is what your enemies are constantly talking about as the only logical choice can be assumed to be the worse choice.

          I’ve been thinking about this all morning, and I think the bad actors are pushing both options simultaneously, the goal being to cause in fighting and apathy among Democrats. This is easily defeated though: pick an option ASAP - it doesn’t matter which - and get 100% behind it.
