    Changing candidates now is a terrible Idea. Who is proposed to replace him? None of these articles posit a different candidate, just not Biden. Ridiculous

        Anyone else is a popular choice. Everyone loves anyone else. That is, until you name anyone else.

      Harris, Newsom, Whitmer, Pritzker, and Shapiro are the most common potential replacements I’ve seen floated.

        Realistically it would be harris or newsom, and they are both as unpopular as biden. Obviously they are mentally sharper but have other baggage.

          I don’t understand why we feel so entitled to primaries. We don’t get to choose who runs in the primaries. It’s really more like an opinion poll and the party decides whether or not to listen to the opinion. AlwaysHasBeen.jpg.

        As a conservative independent I don’t want someone who’s in politics to politic. I’d rather have people who have strong beliefs, even if I disagree. Give me AOC or Warren.

        And which of them are have stated that they intend to run for president? Either go with what we have or don’t go. Those are your options.

      Michele Obama is the only one consistently beating Trump in polls. Not that I want Obama v2, but that’s where it stands currently.

      Done properly, a replacement would get a big bump with the nomination, but that’s not much to count on.

      Jon Stewart would probably wipe the floor with Trump if anyone can figure out how to draft him.

          To be fair, in normal times I would want him doing just that. He has no experience in government or campaigning. But right now, beating Trump is all that matters.

          And thats the reson people like him. He tells the truth about everyone instead of pretending the threat of a facist is a good reason to sweep all issues with your candidate under the rug and lie.

          Considering how slow walking biden to the convention has been going lately it seems he was right.

            My point is that he isn’t interested in being a leader. He would rather make the easy jokes, and I’ve lost a ton of respect for him.

      The people voting for democrats are going to vote for whoever is on the ballot. Same applies for the die-hard republicans. It’s the independents who decide the vote and many of them are now considering Trump. I’d argue that to whoever Trump isn’t the obvious first choice pretty much anyone else but Biden would be a more compelling candidate. They know what they’re going to get with both Trump and Biden. How much worse could they realistically be if we just pick a random dude from the street and nominate them instead?
