I know that it's popular to dismiss President Biden. I get it. He's old. This is the first election featuring the 2 oldest candidates, ever. So what? The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election. To boot Biden from the ticket and try to bootstrap another candidate is madness. Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP will succeed is like firing the cook and hoping the dishwasher will give you Michelin-quality food. Stick with the old man, and figure out a way to enact his popular policies while also expanding the Supreme Court, enacting term limits and limiting "Christian" Nationalists.

Sounds like Biden is likely to resign this weekend. I guess the entirety of the Democratic party is russian bots, right?

You might want to think through the thought process that lead you to be so wrong about what was happening, and why you ended up being a follower while the people you were following were deciding to go in the opposite direction.

If he doesn't, is there any point where you'll stop saying he's gonna?

I didn't respond because my prediction was this weekend (namely Sunday) and why bother responding until after I was proven wrong.

But I wasn't, was I?

'I wasn't' doesn't change a what-if.

[–] Count042@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

What ifs are not based upon hard data.

My prediction was.

If it was wrong, I would have had to rethink my priors.

But I wasn't wrong and yet, several here were trying to deride anyone expressing a certain viewpoint as Russian bots.
