Yeah.

The vast majority willing to vote for Biden, would vote “blue no matter who”.

Which means logically, switching candidates is the smartest plan if all that matters is stopping trump.

But a very small, very vocal group of Biden voters (and even Biden) seem to be lying about what’s most important. I still can’t believe Biden really said he wouldn’t care if he lost.

If they can’t get Biden. A Republican is their second pick.

They just won’t admit it.

But it’s the only logical reason people would be insisting it has to be Biden. Just like Joe, they don’t care if trump wins.

Personally i think they’re just as scared as we are. They’re just too fucking old to have a realistic picture of the political landscape. Gen X is going to get us all killed.

Bruh, gen X isn’t in charge of shit…

You know Biden and a lot of party leaders are still the generation ahead of Baby Boomers, right?

The youngest boomers are 60, how many party leaders calling the shots are significantly under 60?

The party leaders aren’t the ones preventing a move on Biden. Basic support for Biden is tantamount to no action at this point but they are generally taking a wait and see approach. Im mostly taking about the political influencers telling you not to believe your eyes and ears.

Any candidate but Harris would not have access to the money already raised.

Historically, the candidate who raises the most money wins (ignoring 2016).

Meaning the only option the democrats have is to put Harris at the top of the ticket.
