    If our lives depending on it then you would agree that a younger and more capable candidate should replace Biden then, right?

      What a shit take when so much is at stake for so many people. Stop being selfish man. Do this for those that ABSOLUTELY will suffer under Trump.

      Or be blamed for everthing he does.

        So if you want to protect these people then you absolutely would want a younger, more electable candidate to beat trump, right?

          This logical fallacy is called “Denying the Correlative”. It’s basically the opposite of a False Dilemma. In this electoral system, there are two statistically relevant choices: supporting Biden OR supporting Trump. Right-wing voters are consistent, making voting third-party or withholding one’s vote mathematically equivalent to supporting Trump.

          It sucks and it’s bullshit but disliking reality does not make it any less true.

            You are just plain old dead wrong, and the one pushing a fallacy (i.e.fakse dichotomy) is you. The THIRD and most logical and reasonable choice is for Biden to step aside and let a viable candidate represent the Democrats.

            I cant help but notice that you and the other guy keep deliberately avoiding that one.
