    Joe Biden doesn’t need to be perfect in order to protect American democracy.

    If you want someone to replace him, I implore you to reconsider your position and support ranked choice voting.

      Wait…

      You think this article talking about how Biden keeps acting more like trump…

      Is a good thing for Biden?

        When it comes to vigorously campaigning instead of acting like a half-dead pushover, yes, I do want Biden to act more like Trump!

        (Frankly, at this point I also want him use the new power granted by the Presidential immunity decision to ruthlessly eliminate the offending Supreme Court judges the same way Trump would not hesitate to do, but in that case the motivations for such an act would need to be entirely different.)

          Unfortunately the best he could do was a case of self tan that fell off a truck in NJ…

      I don’t WANT someone to replace him (speaking as a matter of electoral calculus from a blank slate), but things may be too far in motion to recover from.

        If you believe that may I suggest you support the ranked voting initiative as well.

          I do. Unfortunately, ranked voting isn’t going to be implemented in time to save us from this ugly choice.
