With democracy itself on the ballot, a statesman with character would know when to let go of power.

    They made it seem like he was promising that, but he never actually committed to that idea.

    Our democracy is going to crash into the side of a mountain because of this guy’s selfish pursuit of a personal legacy that’s never going to materialize.

      People who suggest that others not vote against Trump probably shouldn’t be talking about the future of our democracy.

      You’re seemingly fine with Trump at the helm or you wouldn’t be pushing so hard to hurt a Biden’s chances to win. You’ve never offered a viable solution to who else could successfully win the election…

      So…

      I think that’s all the evidence we need.

        Yes. I have. Repeatedly.

        At this point even Harris has better polling numbers than Biden. Literally. Harris has a better chance at beating Trump, which means any democrat the party chooses has better odds than Biden. She is literally more viable.

        I’d say anyone who’s arguing Biden must be the one at this point is the one trying to sabotage the Dems chances because he’s pretty much guarunteed to lose.

            She could be if he stepped down, yes. That’s the entire point of the discussion we’re having.

            I’m going to assume you’re a troll at this point.

              He’s not stepping shown and he shouldn’t step down. All that will do is cause a divide. But you know this. That’s why you’re upset he’s not doing it.
