hell no it’s not lmao. “My opponent that beat me last election dropping out? Meaning I have to run against someone who wasn’t directly elected that has even lower approval than Biden? That basically no one knows anything about? Oh nooooo!!!!”

You wanna know what would happen if Biden resigned and someone else replaced him?

Nothing. Because all of the “sundowning” idiots were accusing Hillary of being a corporate shill warmonger [insert another insult recycled for Biden here] back in 2016.

They’ve already made up their minds. They do not give a single solitary fuck about politics: all they care to know is “both sides bad” and that’s it. They were around under Obama, they were around under Bush, they were around under Clinton, and they’ve been around in our current day. Biden resigning wouldn’t hurt Trump at all: it would hurt the Democrats to lose one of the most aggressive progressives of our time just because he fumbled one fucking debate.
