    No, it’s not too late. Biden is not even officially the democratic nominee yet, the convention hasn’t even happened yet. The rest of the world has an entire election cycle that lasts like two months. The election is still almost four months away.

      The US has an election cycle that runs much longer than most other places in the world.

      I’m seeing a lot of people downvoting comments that are making simple statements of fact about how the American election system works. It may not be the way people want it to work, but that’s what they’ve got. Downvoting such comments doesn’t change it.

        The US does not need to, is my point. Four months is more than enough time to introduce a new candidate.

          I know it doesn’t need to.

          It does anyway.

          There are a lot of things the US probably should be doing differently about its political system, but they aren’t, and that’s the world we live in.

            Well I for one am not afraid of demanding better, so you go ahead and accept it’s “too late” and I’ll keep insisting it very much is not.

              You keep steering wildly toward the cliff edge, I’ll keep suggesting that maybe this isn’t the best time for that.
