    …Carter didn’t win the primary…

    Edit: if he had I would absolutely vote for him in this situation. If a single square if toilet paper had won the DNC primary (I’m not talking about Charmin…a single square of single-ply made from balsa-wood…dampened) I would vote for it in this situation.

      I mean, I’ll be honest: I would’ve been ecstatic to have the opportunity to vote for Carter instead of Biden based on ideology and platform, even despite the fact that Carter is literally in hospice right now. (And Carter at age 81 vs. Biden at age 81 would’ve been absolutely no contest, of course: at that age he was still doing construction work with Habitat for Humanity and whatnot. Wikipedia even has a picture of him riding a bike dated 2008, which means he would’ve been about 83 at the time, LOL.)

      I mean, yeah, but wouldn’t it be better/safer to NOT run the damp single ply paper against the fascist? Shouldn’t the choice be made easy?

      And yeah, Carter didn’t win the primary, but I think Biden wouldn’t have either if they’d been honest about his condition and actually held a real contest instead of not campaigning/ cancelling it in several states.
