    Because Biden is a distasteful choice for president. That being said, there are no other strong options right now so we’re stuck with it.

      How so? The Rest is Politics identified a few candidates who are more than capable, Gavin Newsom among them.

        Sadly, I suspect the average voter isn’t really aware of who Newsom is. People are really disconnected from anything but the biggest headlines.

          Every voting person would know within a week if Biden stepped down and gave 1/4th the support to the new candidate what he gives to Israel’s far right wing government.

      My naive theory is that Biden plans to drop out as late as possible so that he can take a media beating from the Republicunts and protect the real DNC nominee.

        Yeah, I can’t see that helping. You want someone to have as much coverage as possible.

          When the DNC “upset” happens, there will be coverage. All the people with half a brain will be relieved and vote blue. Fox will fire up propaganda, but it can’t compare to years of “Biden bad”

        That would be funny as shit, but like basically everything Dark Brandon adjacent I fear it is more of a cope than reality.

        Yeah, he should drop out the day of the election and put forth Kamala, so no one knows who they’re voting for. /s
