    Yes, the DNC is going to force the incumbent president to step down so they can run some as-yet-unknown candidate. See how stupid that sounds? It’s like some people don’t even live in the same reality as the rest of us, they’re just looking for their opportunity to say "well akshully!

    They’re just shitposting, wasting bandwidth, contributing nothing.

      Between Biden originally saying that he wasn’t sure if he would run for a second term (in 2019, to be fair), and comments from 2023 that he’s only running because he doesn’t think anyone else can beat Trump, I don’t think it’s far-fetched to think that he would not run just because he’s “the incumbent president”.

      I do also buy the argument that people who would vote for Biden wouldn’t suddenly vote for Trump if another Democratic candidate won the primary. In fact, I feel like from discourse on this platform it seems like the opposite is true: some people would vote for Trump simply because the DNC continues to push Biden.
