      We’ve never had a pair of candidates this unpopular. (Maybe Trump vs Clinton)
      If the Dems had any kind of brains, they absolutely would pick someone else at the convention.
      Just not Harris; She might be the only one, less popular than Biden is.

      Trump has his evangelicals, they’re a done deal. His others voters are a “tear down the system” vote. People who are tired of being fucked over, no matter who’s in office. They see him as the “worse” things need to get, before they can get better; And they may be right.
      If the Dems picked a genuine progressive, who offered several big radical changes (that we all know the ownership class hates), they would take a lot of votes from trump. They would win.

      But I doubt they’d do it.
      The only thing more scary to Dems than Trump, is a genuine progressive.

      So if Biden died right now, the party would die with him?

      Why is the candidate so important anyways? Isn’t the program much more important? As a European, I don’t understand what’s going on in US politics. Nobody seems to care for the politics and everyone just wants the drama.

      The DNC picked Biden and chose not to primary him. Dispite knowing better than any of us how unwell he is. This system is absurd.

      It seems a lot of people believe there is a magical bag full of candidates that can potentially win general elections, but the Dems for some reason decided not to open it…

        Yes, out of hundreds of millions of people, he is the only person who can do the job. In 2028, we’ll have to close the country since nobody else is capable.

      In 2028 after 4 more years of Biden, what then? You really think people will want 4 more years of Democrat broken promises after 8? Trump wins this year either way. Democrats are blowing it
