I really don’t agree. And moreover, we have a contemporary counter example: Macron, his party, and the elections in France two days ago, in which Macron and his party willingly and openly sacrificed his party’s prospects simply to diminish the chance that the fascists would pull out a win. And it worked.
This is an emergency situation. Treating it like any old election is going to end catastrophically, in my opinion.
Not to mention, I pretty strongly dislike the Democratic Party for how they’ve leaned even further towards corporate neoliberal interests, but I outright revile the Republican Party for becoming theocratic fascists. There are no good choices here; only less bad ones.
You can’t treat Frances multi party elections like our first past the line ones. That would be like saying RFK Jr should drop out so Biden has a better chance.
As soon as Biden drops out for anyone else, the Republicans gain so much ammo in us being unprepared and confused. Gives then more ammo on why they’re better.
Their guy can rape, lie, and cheat but it doesn’t matter. They will stick with him no matter what. Also, idk if you’ve watched him speak, he rambles and forget what he’s saying. But they will never replace him, and as shitty as it is atleast they’re strong in that sense.
If we replaced Biden now, there’s 0% chance everyone chooses the same person and then everyone is weaker. So yeah, I think he should stay.
