    Meanwhile, in reality, the Democrats continue to elect moderates who are active Christians.

    Claim: Your arg makes no sense as a defense to vote for the lesser of 2 evils
    proof
    In the Electoral College system, a few thousand votes in key swing states could determine the results of an election.
    Each individual has 1 vote.
    1 < a few 1000.
    Hence, your vote does not matter.

    Picking a successor not a vp. Playing the long game.

    While I don’t believe 1 debate sinks the Biden ship, I fully understand the panic and the talk of replacing Biden. If Biden struggles in the next debate, or has any sort of additional gaffe at a rally or speaking event it’s 100% over and Dems don’t have a whole lot time to find another alternative.

    Yes, if you go quietly into your voting box, and pull the 3rd party switch, yep, very little to no impact on the results.

    But it is when folks like you go around pushing the narrative that something good is going to come out of a 3rd party vote, and enough folks like you agree, then that cumulative impact on the vote very much can and has turned the tide.

    The Green party has done more to damage the environment then they will ever do good.

    An alternative would be anyone who execute the sort of policies that ought to be the thing that voters focus on rather than the person.

    People need to understand that there will be no alternative. It's Diamond Joe all the way

    Unless Joe Biden voluntarily withdraws he will continue to be the Democratic presidential candidate. Hopefully, someone will be able to persuade Jill Biden the only person who can really influence Joe that if he continues to run and is defeated by Donald Trump his legacy will not be his accomplishments during his term in office but rather that of a stubborn cognitively diminished politician who gave the presidency to Donald Trump.

    By the way if Trump is elected his ultimate humiliation of Joe Biden could be a statement to the effect that even though (according to Trump) Joe Biden is guilty of multiple crimes he will request that his DOJ not prosecute Biden because Joe Biden is too cognitively impaired to stand trial.

    It doesn’t help the argument when 3rd party candidates appear kookier than ever as well.

    Jill Biden will not let her husband quit, and if he does the Dems might not have a Dem nominee for POTUS in several states by the time he does quit the race. So, even if he quits... it will not help the Dems.

    They are stuck with Biden. I wonder if his death changes any state laws... Surly the Red states will not change their laws specifically to accommodate the Dems. The Blue states would for sure.

    I don't think so. Trump cares about nothing at all but himself, here and now. He'll pick someone who serves him here and now. In fact he's been quoted as saying, "What do I care about legacy? I'll be dead."

    Jill could let her husband withdraw from the race on condition that she replace him as the Democratic candidate. She could claim plenty of experience, being so close to power. "I've known Joe Biden," she could say, "since before I married him to the thing that he is today."

    Especially the third-party candidate with the highest ratings in the polls and who has actually admitted that part of his brain has been eaten by a parasitic worm.

    Not sure how well that work in the real world although there was speculation that Edith Wilson was the de facto president after Woodrow was significantly impaired by a major stroke.

    It's funny how many Dems think that it's about Biden and not their globalist open border politics... Changing the head puppet will not change the polices from their Party, and Trump will beat any new puppet the Left pimps out to replace Biden.
