    The four people you mentioned would all make great candidates in a primary, and I would enjoy watching them debate.

    But there isn’t time for that. You can’t just throw together a slapdash presidential campaign overnight, and you aren’t going to get the DNC to agree to a coronation for anyone but Harris. The primaries are already mostly over, and Biden is the only viable candidate in the field. If you think the Democrats are going to pluck your favorite candidate from relative obscurity and nominate them, you’re as delusional as the guy who goes to football games thinking he’ll be pulled from the stands to play quarterback because coach saw him throwing the ball with his buddies in the parking lot.

      Nah. You’re just wrong.

      Every name I mentioned is leading Biden right now. They can win. Biden can’t.

        Leading in what? Delegates? State polling? Do any of them even have independent state polling? Or field offices? Any lawyers to get them on the ballot in each state? Do any of them have a fundraising apparatus? Campaign staff? None of them have any meaningful name recognition outside of their home states. Newsom is the only one getting national press coverage, and that’s because the right wing likes to burn him in effigy.

        Like I said, I would love to see all of them in an open-field primary next time around. I’d much prefer a better candidate than Biden. But you’re dreaming if you think someone else can step in now and actually win. If Biden is alive, he’s on the ballot. If he happens to die, the DNC will make sure it’s Harris.

          Theres no help. You are clueless as to how both the DNC and actual elections work.
