      Republican voters do not give a single fuck.

      There are plenty of people who will vote for the democratic nominee even if it’s Biden, but if his performance reduces voter turnout then we get Trump. You overestimate the political literacy of the average person. A lot of people are burnt out or apathetic. You should want somebody who will beat Trump. Why are people hellbent on sticking with the candidate that has a poor approval rating and is polling poorly?

        You’re 100% focused on the wrong fucking thing. Stop talking about biden and the dnc. Keeping them in the spotlight is what will cause them to lose. Not this whole manufactured biden controversy. Keeping the ball in the DNCs court is the losing play. Your response to my post is the losing play. So, eat me

          Its unbelievable that you think the problem is not Biden or the Democratic Party’s flaws, but talking about their flaws.

          Republican voters are happy with their nominee. While the Democratic party has its die hard fans many people vote for them as damage control. Many people can not be bothered to vote because they don’t feel like either party represents them. Wheeling out somebody with a sub 40% approval rating and abysmal polling isn’t going to increase voter turnout.

          My argument is not that Trump is a better option than Biden. My critique is that running Biden shows an increased likelihood of a Trump presidency when looking at polling data. Keeping Biden in is a losing play and no amount of covering your ears when polls are brought up will change that. So, eat me.

            You a say it yourself. It didn’t matter that the better option is just someone who polls better than Joe you just expect better turn out. It stopped being a debate of moral principle long ago, we are months out it’s only strategy now.

            Obviously, criticizing the DNC until election day is a losing strategy.

            I’m not even saying you can’t be critical, just be critical of the real scum bag in all this. Donal Trump. Every once of malice not reserved for the GOP is misplaced.

              I simply don’t understand this reply.

              Biden looks like a losing candidate. Wouldn’t both the moral and strategic answer be to run somebody who can beat Trump? Stopping the Christofacists from getting even more power seems both strategically and morally good.

              Stopping that is important so why should the Democratic party not run the candidate most likely to win? If you think Joe Biden is the most likely to win Democratic candidate then I’d argue your misinformed or willfully ignorant.

                Show me your evidence. You can’t. You know it doesn’t exist, and you’re a complete ass for propping up the MSMs bullshit narrative.
