    Says the person who keeps asking the same question over and over again as if the inability to read the answers given is some kind of “gotcha” that will magically make Biden popular.

      Well, myself (and the other people asking this same question) don’t get an answer, and when we do it’s either false on it’s face or just more conjecture (which ALSO isn’t backed up).

      Someone gave me an actual answer and we ended up having a nice conversation where I got some new information that softened my position a bit.

      If you don’t want to have the discussion that’s fine. But you can’t claim that “everyone and Bernie” was prevented from running in the Democratic primary this election and act like I’m the one being obtuse. Apologies if I was being a dick, that was wrong of me.

      I agree with most of the criticism of Biden, but all the misinformation being spread around to try and manipulate people into lessening support for Biden isnt helpful, doesn’t win the Democratic candidate any votes, and doesn’t take a single vote from Trump. He’s not going to step aside without a plan to beat Trump in November, and no one has one yet. There’s no serious person saying “I can beat Trump, give me the ball”. If/when that happens I will throw my full support behind them.

      My view is that politicians are tools, they are not personalities. I just want the person who will most serve my interests to win. If I urgently need a hammer to nail something and the only tool available is a screwdriver, I’m going to bash that shit with a screwdriver until it gets the job done or a hammer becomes available.
