    True, but I feel like people have been talking past each other about this.

    On the one hand, you have people saying Biden’s cabinet would do a better job than Trump, which is true. On the other hand, you have people saying Biden is going to lose to trump unless he somehow makes a dramatic turnaround in the next couple months, which is also true according to all available data.

    The real question isn’t whether Biden is better than trump, it’s whether Biden would serve the country better by stepping down.

      Exactly. Biden is a lost cause electorally, regardless of how good or bad he is, because he has tanked his approval with his own voterbase. Nobody is going to see Biden and then vote for Trump, they would just sit out or vote third party. Biden is just handing the win to Trump.

          The number is non-zero, sure, but close to it. “Nobody” is just to drive the point, the DNC’s best path to victory is to reengage their voterbase with popular policy and firmly standing against genocide. The “fall in line” narrative works for only so many people, and it may not be enough for the DNC to win, so the DNC should focus on voter outreach instead of fearmongering about Trump for a third election cycle in a row.
