    It’s 4 months before the election.

    Edit: Look at this - a classic case of a basic fact being down voted on Lemmy.

      And every day he holds off on giving up the nomination is a day his actually viable replacement is deprived of. The latest DNC internal polling shows him even farther behind in swing states and on the verge of losing some reliably blue states.

      And the national convention hasn’t happened yet. He’s not officially the candidate until appointed at the convention.

        I guess the point is that to replace Biden would drive chaos that would last longer than 4 months and be self defeating.

      Fuck off with that. People aren’t downvoting a basic fact, they’re downvoting the implication that 4 months means we’re stuck with Biden.

        You make your own implications.

        That’s called a fact and there is literally nothing you can do about it.

          So in response to my lengthy rant about why Biden needs to step aside, you just happened to notice the date, with no deeper meaning?

          You’re arguing in bad faith now.

      I don’t think people are downvoting a fact; I think they’re downvoting a comment which doesn’t meaningfully contribute to the discussion, since by your own admission it’s a just a fact and a fact without context or stated implications is virtually meaningless.

      The circlejerk is real on this post. Tons of bad takes and misinformation from the same “genocide Joe” shitposters as usual.
