Dean Phillips, but he has little chance against an incumbent who has the support of the Party leadership. In order for anyone to solidly beat him in the primaries, Biden would need to step down or the Party would need to acknowledge that the Clinton strategy of pushing their pick even if unpopular isn’t a safe one.

Voters tend to not show up for primaries against incumbents, but unenthusiastic or marginalized voters also tend to not show up to elections. Or put another way, an incumbent winning a primary isn’t indicative of a candidate winning an election. And I have no faith that Biden can win an election. That the DNC does is frightening and delusional.

Or are you saying that you wouldn’t vote for any Democratic candidate except Biden? What on earth does the party have to lose by having Biden step down?

What exactly did you do to help Dean Phillips’ campaign?

I’ll vote for whoever will stop Trump to prevent the ongoing queer genocide you apparently don’t care much about from getting worse and taking my daughter with it.

Who do you suggest I vote for if Biden appears to be the one most likely to save my daughter’s life?

lol, it’s nothing but moving goalposts with you, is it?

Your daughter’s life doesn’t mean enough to you to help me get an electable candidate through the primaries. When she asks you what you did to save her, you can say you argued with people on the internet. Sleep with that on your conscience.

I apologize for being too seriously ill to do anything about the primaries. And also for not being a member of the Democratic Party. What did you do for Dean Phillips? I already asked you and you won’t say. Should I guess that you did essentially nothing?

I am not moving the goalposts at all. First of all, this is the very first comment I made in this thread:

I keep telling people- the queer genocide that has already begun with Republican restrictions on trans rights and medical care is going to ramp way up and encompass queer people as a whole. Including my daughter.

And yet I keep being told I’m excusing genocide by voting for Biden in order to stop Trump from killing her.

Secondly, you blatantly asked me if I’d vote for any Democrat other than Biden:

Or are you saying that you wouldn’t vote for any Democratic candidate except Biden?

The answer is yes, if they can beat Trump. I have no idea why you think answering your question is moving the goalposts. That seems like just as silly a lie as when you accused me of supporting genocide- the very thing I said people keep telling me I’m doing by voting for Biden to save my daughter’s life in my very first post. Surprise, surprise.
