When you compare Biden to Trump vs. the effects on the Palestinians, were Trump president again, he would not just help the Israelis exterminate the Palestinians, but encourage them to do so quickly- as he’s already told Bibi to “finish it”. So your dichotomy is more than a bit disingenuous .
Well, that’s up to the DNC. They could put almost any other prominent dem and they’d probably beat Trump. The DNC also has the ability to change the candidate after the election but before the electoral ballots are cast, at least as far as I understand their rules.
Trust, I understand your point. The primaries are over, and that’s where the different candidate should have been chosen. But unfortunately, the whole not knowing any viable alternatives line of thinking is what got the DNC into this mess in the first place.
Yeah, I think any other Dem candidate is a gamble: you lose out on the significant incumbent boost, you only have 4 months to campaign if you start now, and you risk losing momentum on the moderate vote. This isn’t an election I want to gamble with, especially with the recent SCOTUS ruling. Everything said and done, I don’t think the benefits outweigh the risks.
November 6th is when we should start pushing for significant changes. 11th hour fuckery isn’t going to help this cycle.
Except Biden has a 37% approval rating…
That’s Jimmy Carter level…
Do you know what happened with Jimmy Carter’s second term?
An incumbency only translates to a boost, when being the incumbent is a positive thing.
2/3s of voters don’t think Biden is a good president. 56% think he is a bad one.
We can’t afford to hope enough people hold their nose for him.
This is bigger than any one person, even Joe Biden
Who then, hmm?
That the DNC would let run?
Whitmere.
That would get the most votes?
AOC
Neither one polls better than Biden.
Not in Data for Progress’ poll…
They used to be good, but after Biden won 2020 and they started working with the DNC, things went downhill quickly.

Did you catch that?
He also bragged in the past about being able to come up with polls that would be likely to result in increased donations to the candidate paying for the poll…
Which worked here too. Because I’ve seen articles bragging about how much Biden has raised recently
Even before that, they were “quick and dirty” polling.
But that’s a whole big can of worms to get into.
The important part is that these candidates are polling similar to Biden against Trump already.
And Biden has the full weight of the DNC behind him (at least up till last week) and an active campaign.
Obviously anyone that became the candidate and started campaign would see a jump.in their numbers unless it was someone like Hillary
Which poll shows either Whitmer or AOC bearing Trump in the general?
What?
You’re just ignoring everything I say and asking different questions, even though I’ve already talked about it:
