    I’m a fool for asking you to provide context on an image?

    I thank you for correcting my mistake, but I’m not sure why you think unkindness is the path to a Kennedy victory, especially when your own sourcing shows his candidacy is a joke.

      I didn’t suggest that voting for Kennedy would result in a victory.

      My argument is that Biden is has basically lost the election with his policy choices. Trump out performs his polling, and you need to overperform due to gerrymandering. Biden needs a significant polling lead going into November to overcome these barriers.

      I think Bernie could step in (He’s old AF too at this point but at least he isn’t hiding from the public like Biden is). I think Jon Stewart could be recruited. I think Gavin Newsom could win. I think Jay Inslee could win. I think Gretchen Witmer could win. I think Nina Turner could win. Fuck, at this point, Hillary fucking Clinton might actually have a better shot than Biden (that last one is a bit tounge in cheek).

      We’ve got options, and we haven’t actually had a convention yet. Biden said he wouldn’t run for a second term during his 2020 campaign. My highest priority is not having another Trump presidency. I don’t think western Democracy will survive.

      I think, strategically, allowing Biden to take the fire for his shitty positions and polices while running another candidate would make a ton of sense. I also think Biden is too arrogant to step down, but by not entertaining other options, we’re basically guaranteeing failure.
