    You’ve identified the issue yes

    Kamala Harris is the only option that polls better than Biden, and she’s not a great option, no. I wish there were one that seemed like “oh that is the answer yes.”

    I think - this is a completely serious statement - that Jon Stewart would be a great option. But because our political system is broken, we can’t do that.

      Jon Stewart would absolutely win if he went for it, but he doesn’t want to. It sucks.

      You have to read the entire section of the poll, not just the “supports candidate” part. The don’t know/undecided part grows in lockstep with the loss of support. While Trump maintains right around 40%. Which is a common phenomenon when people don’t recognize the candidate’s name.

      A four month campaign is more than long enough to fix the name recognition problem and court the independents. The really important thing is generic Democrat beats Trump every time. That highly suggests Biden is hurting the campaign, not helping it and any recognizable Democrat will win this thing.

        Its really not, because you gotta figure for hiring campaign staff, all the politicing behind the scenes, it SHOULD be as simple as run someone now and work that out later. But the Dems in charge think they’ll sruvive a second Traitor Trump term just as strongly and incorrectly as moderate voters

          Well some of them at any rate. Is it enough to force us to hold on to Biden? We don’t know. We can say with certainty that the replacements are there and ready though. If we don’t switch then that’s going to be the story in 50 years when they study American history.
