Harris is not the country's leader yet. She is likely to be selected as the candidate by the Democratic party, but ultimately the party is a private organization that can do basically whatever it wants to select that candidate. That's not fascism. That's freedom of association. In the end, nobody has to vote for the Democrats nor the Republicans. Anybody can be on the ballot with enough popular support, no party needed.

Parties hold primaries because, ultimately, they need votes to win an election and primaries help gauge the people who will be voting. At the time of the primaries, the voters still overwhelmingly selected Biden. But in the time since, polls show large majorities of those voters support both Biden's departure and Harris as the replacement. So this is still likely the right move if the party is trying to appeal to the public.

If stopping genocide is your biggest issue, I suggest going to rail against in it right-wing spaces instead. There's a lot more pro-genocide to stop there.

Damn, such a tough decision...

You know what's even more sad? This isn't even close to a complete list of all the things wrong with Trump.

Yeah just like that.

Thanks for bringing up some minor controversies, I guess (compared to trying to steal an election).

There's a double standard for Democrats, even if you're an old white man. There's also a double standard for women. And there's a double standard for minorities. And it's not just Republicans who hold them but voters all around. Harris is about to be on the receiving end of all of it.

We're going to see a coordinated effort to flood every media outlet with as much shit as possible to see what will stick until eventually some unmitigated bullshit catches enough people's attention to become the central talking point. At that point, whatever it is, will become essentially equivalent to the worst things Trump has done (which is a lot).

Could be she parked illegally and didn't pay the ticket. Doesn't matter. It'll still be just as bad in voters' minds as inciting an insurrection to overthrow the election.

It'll be interesting to see what minor controversy from her past that voters glom onto and equivocate with Trump's blatant assault on democracy.

The time since the release of that song is longer than 1985 was from it (2004).

Anybody got some context?

You don't replace him with the Joker. You know, additional words have meaning. Now if your argument is that the Democrats need to find their own Joker, I guess then you're being targeted by this meme.

I promise you that the Republican Party would undergo serious reform even if they were kept out of the presidency for 3 terms. I'd bet on a complete collapse if they find themselves a significant minority in Congress for only a couple terms. We're not talking about a crazy unrealistic amount of time here.

Yeah should be -> not enough people actually vote -> fascists retain enough power to evade consequences -> fascists seize more power

The meme is about Biden vs Trump. It's not about people who just think Biden is too old and want to replace him. You're arguing for a position that isn't being attacked by the post.

Biden has been president for almost 4 years and we haven't seen any of those things. That's how I know all this FUD is overblown. The things you are describing were rampant under Trump, not Biden.

It's not about whether or not someone can be too old for a job. It's about thinking that someone is too old for a job therefore justifies putting absolutely anyone, let alone a literal criminal in his place.

I mean if Trump gets elected, it'll be because people would rather have a felon conman narcissist racist rapist wanna-be-dictator idiot over someone with "senile moments." Call me an apologist, but the blame should fall with the morons that think the guy who literally tried to illegally have the last election thrown out was the right choice there.

I don't think you need to be a diehard to recognize that handing the keys over to a frail old person is an easy choice to handing them over to a felon fraudster. It's crazy that this is even a question.

I'd still 100% let them drive me instead of a sociopath conman.

I never said story games are shallow. But if the games you like are ones where you can feel like you've experienced all the game and the story has to offer in a single playthrough then they are, by definition, shallow. Even a great movie is worth watching multiple times of its story has any appreciable depth. Video games, even more so since there should be more to the story to experience.
