After reading I now appreciate David Gerard’s dedication.

The date?

Sometimes I upvote/downvote posts and comments on accident while scrolling… I might be giving people too much credit though.

Yes and no. It’s the same result if Biden is elected, but if Biden’s name on the ticket is shown to depress voter turnout then he may not get elected in the first place.

Harris. She is polling better and she has access to the campaign funds. I don’t like either, but I’ll take almost anybody over Trump. I wish people took him seriously enough to run better candidates.

You can’t say that everybody polls worse and then agree that Kamala Polls better.

Kamala would be the obvious choice if the party rallies behind her. She would most easily have access to the campaign funds.

I didn’t like Biden as a candidate before becuase of all of the reasons he’s been a favorite of the donors that you’re mad at for no longer supporting him. I don’t think he has the best shot at besting Trump. The media and donors suddenly turning on Biden is because of his dismal polling and a debate performance that worsened it. They are interested in their investment above all else. Biden is a career politician and he has been a favorite of wealthy donors until he became a liability.

I’m curious why you’re so ride or die for Biden. I’d prefer candidates other than Biden or Harris, but I’ll support either over Trump. I would prefer if the one picked is most likely to beat Trump though. I don’t like Christofacism.

The uncomfortable reality is Biden’s already bad approval rating will continue to worsen as the election gets closer and his minor flubs add up.

Do you want to tap in somebody else now and get to work or wait until its too late?

Pretending that there’s no possible other candidate doesn’t make it true either. Other candidates haven’t had to lobby delegates at convention since the 60s but the mechanism is in place for that. Another option is for the party to rally behind Kamala who is polling above Biden and who would also have access to previous their tickets campaign funds.

I agree that Roe V Wade is this election’s spoiler and Biden has been doing a lackluster job at drilling into that.

I would literally even take Kamla who is also unpopular, but I’m sure has a better shot. She also has the benefit of having access to Biden’s campaign donations if he drops out.

Manybof these articles are also listing all of the other options. That’s why I said literally anybody who doesn’t have a sub 40% approval rating.

It’s easier to write people off for typing lol than it is to refute their argument.

Edit: Trump is unpopular and Biden is still down significantly in the polls. There are options to run other people. Why would you possibly not want to run a candidate that is more likely to win?

I’m getting downvoted in other comments, but nobody is telling me how the polling deficit is good strategy.

It is not just that he’s old. Biden has such a low approval rating that it’s comparable to Trump’s when he lost reelection during a pandemic.

If you truly do care about putting up a fight against Project 2025 then it is important that Democrats run almost anybody else.

Also, the articles about Biden’s perceived inability to get elected are not a waste of time. The donor class is finally recognizing what many of us have known and are pushing for a change. I can kick and scream all I want about how I don’t want Biden but I don’t have money to fund campaigns.

Edit: You can boo me. I’ve seen you bet money on a corpse winning a race.

Pointing out Biden’s flaws is not the problem. Biden’s flaws are the problem.

Also I don’t think that wealthy donors should have this much influence. I want to clear that up if it came across like I did.

I had those same socks.

I don’t think she’s the Disney in charge.

Trump is a legitimate threat to democracy.

So shouldn’t we send literally anybody else? Isn’t Biden’s approval rating sub 40%?

I agree with lesser evil voting and harm reductuon, but we’re not voting yet. They can maybe run somebody who might not throw the election.

When you’re as old as the pope setting up a website seems like a miracle.

It is, but she’s turning 68.

The article above, that you didn’t read, talks about the speaker of the house and surveyed Americans.

There’s a section on his Wikipedia page about his political activism and work with politicians.

I don’t wash my butthole because it’s dirty. I don’t want to touch that thing.

It’s too late for me to start.

Edit: I do wash my butthole. Don’t worry about me too much.

I literally just threw up. I feel better now though.

It was a joke about entrapment. It wasn’t an endorsement of America’s police.
