Why don't democrats just play it safe and run just about anyone who isn't Biden?

The vast majority of conservatives will never vote for a democrat. The best democrats can do is try to retain support of independents who have no problem voting 3rd party or even conservative if they feel disenfranchised by the democratic party.

Blame everyone who thinks the democrats should run Biden again.

Michelle would not win in a landslide.

Every election that is just an extension of the Clinton lineage is a bad play for democrats.

If the democrats ran just about anybody but Joe, they'd be a shoe-in.

Brace yourselves for Trump 2.0, everyone. The Clinton lineage must go on!

Unfortunately, I feel forum communities have themselves to blame for a lot of people not wanting to interact with their forums.

Essentially, there's a level of gatekeeping that existed where if you didn't ask questions the 'right way' or even ask the 'right questions', you would be flamed and potentially have your post deleted. Some of these people actually believe that if they can't answer a question, then it's the fault of the asker and not their own.

Why go through the effort if that's how the community is going to behave? Sometimes, it's more fruitful to say nothing than to tear someone down or give wrong information just so you can contribute something.

Discord is nice because of how informal it is, although it's also getting corrupted by the same autists who need to have everything 'just' their way. (referring to things like forcing people to start threads instead of an open room for questions.)

Running Biden is the best thing democrats can do to guarantee a Trump presidency.

It's next to impossible to have rational discussions about this war.

Most people on these forums are consumed by propaganda and don't even realize it.

Downvoted for clickbait headline.

Unfortunately, they got paid to do their job and probably had sex with their wives afterwards.

Whatever happened to those Iran protests?

Copyright and patent laws need to die.

I see no issue here.

Eh, I think cookies should just be opt-in unless they're absolutely necessary for the site to function.

RIP.

Probably not a very big market.

I would certainly never use anything more than a condom.

As a man, I always laugh when I see other men excited about the prospect of becoming sterile.

Imagine if that stopped people during the Civil Rights Movement.

If only these problems could be solved by 1 person.

What would that accomplish?

I'm guessing you don't use fossil fuels?
