    The problem is anti-Biden proponents never provide a viable candidate who can beat both Trump and Biden in November when asked to do so.

    Whinge about Biden all you want, but unless an alternative is provided, it’s shouting into the void at best and helping Trump at worst.

    I support what Michigan did, and I hope Biden gets the message, but I also hope they’re not so far up their own asses that they forget that handing the presidency to Trump in November won’t actually solve the problem of genocide and will likely bring along other human rights violations.

      Plus Gavin Newsom has already told these people to fuck off.

      Some of these uncommitted voters have had family members killed in Gaza and you nonchalantly just tell them get their heads out of their asses? Wow.

      They’ve proposed Sanders twice, and while he’s not running this time (and at this stage too old), he beat Trump by huge margins in every head to head poll, both cycles. Unfortunately the corporate media made sure they pushed their corporate friendly candidates (Clinton in 2016, Biden in 2020) instead of creating a fair playing field.

      You could see in this cycle as well where Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips did not get any airtime, while on the Republican side candidates that were polling below 1% got entire CNN town halls. (Not to mention how third party candidates get treated).
