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.

Been hearing this every four years my entire life.

Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP

I agree. Kamala is the worst politician in America. How did we end up in the timeline where we're stuck in the plot of VEEP?

When something increases steadily, it's always at its most. Democracy in America has been at growing risk, just like your birthday candles are always at their highest number every year.

That's how arithmetic progression works

I agree. Kamala is the worst politician in America.

This world has convicted felon trump, two bushes and Nixon. What bullshit criteria are you using to evaluate someone intentionally kept out of the post-9/11 public eye against those people?

How did we end up in the timeline where we're stuck in the plot of VEEP?

If you're a conservative, you must remember when Johnson took over. Personally. Or is the memory going?

If you have cancer, every treatment is really fucking important. You can't just get bored of it and see what happens.

You know what happens.
