Trump
Biden
One candidate literally tried to overturn an election result he didn’t agree with. How did being shot at by a maladjusted loser have anything to do with Democracy.
You understand that primaries involving an incumbent president are fait accompli anyway, the last time an incumbent faced a serious challenger was Carter in 1980 when Ted Kennedy ran against him. Second Harris was voted for as running mate, so in the event of anything happening to him or him stepping aside she would be his replacement.
Is she a terrible choice, and would make for an awful president ? Yes but so will Trump. The difference is if on the 5th November she loses to Trump (which I suspect she will) she will concede defeat.
Correct on many counts, except I don't think Harris would be 'awful'
In any case literally anyone is better than Trump, so on that basis whoever the Democrats put up should get everyone's vote - everyone that is except right-wing, neocon, libertarian nutcases - plus of course the large amount of totally stupid, prejudiced and ignorant people rolling around in their own shite in the many backwaters of the US
You realise using that logic, Harris is actually far more of a “neocon” than Trump?
In fact take away Israel (the one area apart from gender woo where I agree more with Trump than Harris) and if you were voting based on foreign policy you’d be far better off supporting Trump (with your foreign policy views I mean)
And Harris is terrible, she has no political instincts of her own and then slavishly follows the nonsense that most mainstream Democrats seem to promote like the “be kind” approach to sexual predators in pigtails. Took the same support now, ask questions later approach to incredibly suspect organisations like BLM (which is literally no different to calling the Unite the Right dickheads as very fine people)
It would be nice if a presidential candidate Democrat or Republican didn’t immediately genuflect to the cretins on their extreme wing. Harris did have the decency to identify the intifada cosplaying protesters as anti semites but still trying to keep refuseniks on side by putting pointless pressure on Netanyahu. The pressure on him should be to escalate things, the slowness with which this war has been conducted and a completely pointless ceasefire in November will no doubt have kept Hamas on life support (Yahya Sinwar should have been rotting beneath the earth a long time ago)

As much as anything I was agreeing with where you said "The difference is if on the 5th November she loses to Trump (which I suspect she will) she will concede defeat."
totally - that says more about her and her supporters (who likewise won't assault the Capitol buiding) than any individaul policy position
Oh yeah, I found this earlier in this thread the other day
