Former President Obama’s senior adviser David Axelrod on Sunday suggested President Biden drop out of the 2024 presidential race in the wake of a new poll showing the incumbent trailing …
I’d rather see Dems win with a more coherent and less partisan option. Having trump drop and get replaced with desantis would continue the primary issues of trump with a less divisive and objectionable face…
Trump votes are mainly confrontational IMHO. People who vote trump have a lot of “stick it to the libs” going on. I feel like desantis would be voted on as being more of a normal type candidate, and might kinda normalize the alt-rightness that trump brought to the table (and desantis has as much as trump does, he’s just not in your face about it).
Which is all to say that both trump and Biden are problematic, but the only problems that can pragmatically be addressed are the ones with biden, as he’s just old and out of it. The trump crazyness will continue if you replace him.

The dude literally copies Trump down to the hand gestures and clothing choices. And have you seen Florida lately? He is more of a fascist than Trump is, except instead of being driven by money, he’s driven by an unquenchable desire to “eat with the popular girls.”
If, by some twist of fate, he normalizes anything on the right, it’s because he has an unassailably dull and shallow personality, not because he is more normal or reasonable than Trump.
And everyone else desparately want that to be relevant. Much like Trump’s small hands, Biden’s weirdly hands on approach to familiarity, Obama’s love of gourmet condiments, etc… it’s nothing more than attempt at making something innocuous into something monumental.
He’s got plenty of awful qualities, wearing lifts isn’t one of them. To focus on it is to distract from meaningful criticism.
DeSantis as a normal type candidate? Have you kept up with the news on him? He’s more overtly fascist than Trump was. Maybe not more so than Trump is these days, but more than he was in the past.
Desantis lacks the big boisterous spray tanned clown face. The politics of trump (increased, you say, and I agree) would be brought back to the table without the big cartoon quality of trump.
The net effect of which would be a normalization of those specific politics. Desantis’ public persona is far more normal than trumps is. No oompa loompa, no toddler tantrums, that sorta thing… You see? That’s not a good thing, therefore it’s better if trump stays on the ballot and the weak polls get addressed by something a little less senile on the Dem side.
Or continue to claim Biden is perfectly fine, and watch the swing states’ differing opinion return the presidency to chaos, I guess.

He also desperately wants to be 5’11”.
Awww… Petite dictators are so cute. I just wanna squeeze those little cheeks!

Here’s my meaningful criticism: he’s a cruel fascist, and I hope his balls explode.
it’s because he has an unassailably dull and shallow personality, not because he is more normal or reasonable than Trump.
(and desantis has as much [alt right] as trump does, he’s just not in your face about it).
Did I not say the exact same thing there? I feel like I said the exact same thing… I certainly meant the exact same thing…
