A message to the DNC, if you want the votes, run someone popular. Hillary got us Trump, and they are working to let it happen again. Vote for the best candidate. Don't waste your vote on a crappy short-term candidate, and maybe one day we can get a good one, maybe one day great.

The future of the WORLD
Overblown. Other countries will be affected and that pisses me off, but you take our country to be a bit more important than it really is. Lots of other countries see the writing on the wall: we're in massive decline.
Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP will succeed is like firing the cook and hoping the dishwasher will give you Michelin-quality food
No. It's more like firing the head chef who's putting dish soap in every course and yelling at anyone who points it out that he's just as capable as he ever was.
The junior chef slated as a temporary replacement might not be very well-liked, and not even a very good cook, but at least she won't poison the guests while alienating the staff.
Plus, due to arcane restaurant edicts the kitchen is required to either hire from their own ranks or hire a chef who shits directly into the mouth of every patron, threatens all the LGBTQ+ workers and tries to physically prevent people of color from entering the restaurant.
And for some unfathomable reason, most of the guests would rather eat shit than dish soap.
Let's put it this way, as long as Trump doesn't win, I'm fine with the result. But given that the only viable candidate right now is Biden, or possibly Kamala Harris, who is already on the ticket anyway, I'll be voting Biden simply to insure that Trump doesn't win.
And if you think there isn't that much difference between the two, read some summaries of what Trump plans to do via Project 2025.
Hey dude how's it going this morning
I believe in AZ it is on the ballot as a petition-based initiative in November. Because the Republican-majority congress wants nothing to do with it.
Oh shit, is this supposed to be a response to me asking about ranked choice voting? Assuming that's the case:
That's cool for Arizona. I hope it passes. But I don't live in Arizona. Most americans don't. What should those of us not in Arizona do to bring about ranked choice voting?
Hopefully, citizen petitions are allowed on the ballot in your state, because it's a fairly easy one to get on the ballot that way—a ton of people want it. Otherwise you'll have to lobby your state congress critters, which unfortunately is not as easy…
Biden is basically a guarunteed loss, so anyone advocating Biden when there's the possibility of replacing him with someone who polls better, like Harris, want a dem loss. It's really that simple.
There aren't enough pep talks or backhanded memes that will change Biden's inability to drive out voters.
Damn, who let r/conservative in here?
