Could we, though? Who would you propose would be better without scaring off swing voters who are more afraid of imaginary socialism than real fascism?

spader312@lemmy.world 11 months agoI am voting for him again because I don’t want trump or any other of the Republican candidates as my president. But could we have a better democratic candidate? Definitely

I mean that is the narrative right, we have to go with a centrist because it might scareee people to give them universal healthcare.
The reality is that in a lot of cases Biden is to the right of the majority of the US on issues. Take the Israeli genocide of Palestinians, it is extremely unpopular to support it right now among US voters (especially younger ones) but I am sure the media narrative is that oh we can’t say no to Israel, that would doom Biden for being too leftist.

Calling it a “narrative” doesn’t make it not true.

There’s a very real chance the vice president ends up taking charge, Biden does look like he could die of old age any day now
