Why would the DNC, or any fucking party, switch out the incumbent? that’s like having the option for home field advantage and not choosing it. There’s not been a lot of presidents that have lost their reelection campaign (which of course happened to Trump). So now we are going to rehash the same fight that Trump lost, with himself using the exact same plan, but now under several felony investigations ranging from state and federal. Why give Trump any advantage at all by running a new candidate? So Republicans can say that “Biden was actually moderate but new mythical Democrate candidate is way worse will take away your guns, and destroy the country as you know it!” That’s how Trump won against Clinton, using the fear that she’s a more dangerous president than Trump. If you vote 3rd party, best case scenario you have no affect on the election. Worst case is your vote, and others who may have voted for Biden, effectively gave votes to Trump by voting 3rd party. The US voting system punishes you for voting 3rd party, that won’t change until our voting system is updated (which I would like)
