      Hey!

      It’s that account that literally just said it has to be Joe because Kamala wasn’t polling ahead of trump even tho she’s not campaigning yet…

      What’s the new reason for why only Joe can be the candidate now?

            Newsweek sucks and doesn’t even link this new wonderous poll. There’s your reason.

                So first off:

                As the horse race shows, those views may not be determinative. Biden’s job approval rating is stable, albeit at a weak 36%. Though neither is broadly popular, Biden continues to have a better personal favorability rating than Trump. And Biden leads Trump by 17 points, 39%-22%, in being seen as more honest and trustworthy, essentially unchanged from the spring.

                What these polls focus on determines their outcome. People think Biden is more trustworthy than Trump. Which is a good thing I guess.

                Second:

                Were Vice President Kamala Harris to replace Biden as the Democratic nominee, vote choices are 49-46%, Harris-Trump, among all adults (and 49-47% among registered voters). Harris’ 49% is slightly better than Biden’s 46%, although she doesn’t have a statistically significant lead over Trump.

                They claim she has no statistical lead. So are we just pussy footing around here yelling at each other? She’s the VP anyway, at 81 Biden has a high fucken chance of not serving the whole term. Not that I’m advocating for that. But the last time we did this, again I’ll reiterate, we fucking lost dude. People dont like swapping candidates this late, it creates uncertainty. Which, could consume Harris’s entire nonstatistical lead. I’m down with whatever, I’ll vote D. But that doesn’t mean I won’t say shit when we are repeating history again either way we slice it.

                  The last time we ran an incumbent like Biden, we fucking list dude.

                  That’s what you’re not understanding.

                  Everything we normally go off of, says Biden will lose.
