    This headline is so confusing…

    Do they mean Democrats would prefer another candidate or Repuplicans would?

    Yes, I think democrats wanted another candidate (Bernie was running away with it till the mass drop out and endorsement of Biden, eg, ratfuck two, electric boogaloo), but I also think democrats are resigned to voting for Biden.

    Like its fine, we didn’t want him in the first place but this is obviously a strategic vote.

      That’s probably true for both parties. A large majority of voters didn’t want a Biden/Trump rematch, but here we are.

      He could die any second, of natural causes to be clear. I like to think of it as voting for a corpse placeholder that will likely be replaced with Harris, who isn’t great herself but isn’t mostly dead like Biden or Trump.
