    I agree with your first paragraph, but democrats do not seem organized enough to choose someone else, you will just dilute your vote and argue more with whoever you choose next.

    And at the end of the day, POTUS is still not the most powerful human being in the world, that’s an illusion. There’s still a congress and military that say “no” to some of their desires. Billionaires who control thousands of jobs and the lives of millions of people too. There are warlords out there with the weapons and soldiers under their wing, who listen to him, not the POTUS. So on and so forth; and given this, I still prefer a cadaver over Trump, but sure, democrats can do better, but I feel like you might end diluting your vote if you don’t choose the right person, and judging by the comments, nobody seems to be able to decide who it should be, not even the kind of person s/he has to be

      I put it to you that you’re going to sleep walk in another Trump presidency. Are you going to act surprised or admit that people didn’t want a senile president?

      The options are trying to do something about it now, or waiting four years whilst Trump is inflicted upon the world.

      I think that pretending there is no other option and having to hold your nose while voting for Biden is very weak.

      Many have said, “I’d vote for a dog/potato/cadaver over Trump”, so if that’s true, it actually doesn’t matter who you pick in place of Biden. So let’s pick literally anyone who doesn’t look like they’ve stayed up too late at the old people’s home.
