PS.

I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.

I'll do my duty and vote for Biden, but we're going to lose with Biden.

  • 37% approval-rating matching Jimmy Carter; no candidate in history won with those numbers.
  • Biden has the most catastrophic debate performance in history, proving long-held fears by 75% of the electorate that Biden is too old 3 an immutable, worsening attribute.
  • Biden was already hemorrhaging black and hispanic voters.
  • Biden was already losing youth vote in part due to his position on Israel.
  • Trump's polls hardly budge after a full-blown criminal conviction.
  • Trump seizes the narrative for the first time positively with a VP pick and TIME-cover magazine shots of him pumping his fist, defiant with a flag in the background as he's covered in blood from an assassination attempt.
  • Trump campaign has barely spent a nickle of their war chest money while Biden has been dumping their cash just to stay afloat in the polls as damage-control post-debate.
  • Biden campaign team has ZERO strategy to change the trajectory of his terrible polls, including the 6 battleground states, all of which he trails in.

Ultimately it's not me you have to convince; it's the low-info battleground state swing-voter who now is either not voting or leaning Trump once again.

I will continue to advocate for Biden to step down until post-Convention; after that, well, I'll probably bet money against his victory. That way, at least it's win-win for me.

Trump didn't get the predicted Marytr Bonus that normally follows a failed assassination, he can still do this.

Plus his Vice President is this guy - https://vxtwitter.com/JDVance1/status/1511311385543815180

Easily less likable than Paul Ryan

Even if he didn't, which it certainly won't hurt him, Biden is already underperforming not just his 2020 run by a full 10 points, he's doing worse than Hillary's 2016 run. I'm glad Trump chose Vance as it doesn't help him, but again it doesn't change the bottom-line.

We need to jump ship while there is still time.

Adam Schiff now just publicly called for for Biden to step down.

We need to be ready to stick to him no matter what if he doesn't though

Indeed, we'd have no other better choice. It just puts me back where I was pre-Debate, but with less hope.

God I wish that debate never happened, I wasn't even slightly worried about Biden's chances until that made me go "Oh shit..."

People I know irl have actually switched to Trump because they're worried Biden is a danger to himself and those around him. They keep saying "Oh Project 2025 will never pass, we got checks and balances", but that's not really true anymore

Project 2025 is already well under way. The supreme court has seen to that
