I'm voting for Biden. Not happily, not even simply neutral on the matter. I hate that I have to vote for Biden.
If AOC ran, I would not be even a little reluctant to vote for her. She reminds me of Bernie.
AOC is actually not old enough to be president. Ironic given how old the candidates are...I agree, Biden has my vote
AOC from NYC is the MVP in DC.
MVP in the GOV...
I know she loves NYC but there's a nice White House available in DC
Wasn't trump impeached twice? What does this even mean concretely?
Not knocking the sentiment, just questioning the practicality
Gives Dem voters something to rally around in the lead up to the election...
Like. This is literally the time and place for performative actions, but I swear it's like everyone's forgot what the word "campaign" means.
If you're going to do the thing with replacing Biden as the candidate, you couldn't get better than AOC, who will be 35 before November.
I personally think replacing Biden this late is a bad move even though I already think Biden sucks. But I grit my teeth and voted for the fucker just like I did with Clinton, because the alternative is literally insanity and fascism. I just don't realsitically seeing the party coalesce around anyone new at the last minute. Organizing Democrats is like herding cats, being a big tent party sucks noodles.
I've seen this criticism of replacing Biden often recently "it's too late! We won't have time!"
Putting aside for the moment that it isn't late at all and complaints that it is feel like talking points, Biden IS old. The stats on someone his age dying that year are extremely high. There is a good chance he dies before the election.
If there isn't a plan to deal with that fairly likely possibility, then there isn't a plan to win.
Anyone in a position of power in the DNC making this claim is them confessing their own incompetence.
Hey man I've been dealing with the shitty outcomes of the politicians who lead this party being unwilling to listen to the public until well after the public has been proven right for my entire adult life.
I said Biden was too old in 2020. He's even too older now. The party didn't give a fuck and has spent their time hiding it and fucking us out of having primaries.
Who do you think will choose the new candidate? The same super delegates who gave us Hillary Clinton? It won't be a people's vote at the convention, it will be delegates, many of which are party apparatchiks.
Do you think the people who hid Biden's issues this late in the game will suddenly make a good choice? I don't. The party fucked us into this position and I do not think they are capable of unfucking us, sorry. Biden is who we have, alive or dead.

Just keep repeating, Biden may not be the best, but his administration has been fantastic!
In comparison to the other party... Not just Biden you are voting for the administration. Supreme court justices Which affect everyday life!
Bidens state department has been horrific, as well as his defense department.
Fuck yeah. Probably won't go anywhere with a traitorous house majority but it's worth it to try and get them on the record.
Just today I read that Clarence Thomas accepted a yacht trip to Russia. There's a huge air of corruption around him and I've heard people are calling for him to step down.
