I've been saying it since last election.
If either Biden or trump stepped down, it would guarantee their party wins.
It's insane we're heading into an election where regardless of who wins, roughly two thirds of the country would be unhappy with the results.
Generic Democrat polls higher than basically any Democrat you give a name to. People like the idea of a Democrat but have issues with the individual likely candidates. See also the amount of delegates 'uncommitted' got over the candidates actually running in the primary in states that held one with that option.
You and me both. Been saying replace Biden for months.
Replacing Biden would actually re-energize the voters and base too. I'd prefer AOC most because I think she'd get the most attention and attract the most voters. I think they should do it now though rather than wait and have the delegates start casting votes to pick someone in the next week or two so that we can put all the support behind a new candidate that can actually do unscripted press conferences and talk policy & that is likeable.
It's not going to be a progressive, let alone AOC. Get ready for a younger establishment-friendly moderate. Which would still be a drastic improvement and make my progressive ass breath a sigh of relief.
While I'd prefer AOC, the more likely outcome would be someone like Gavin Newsom.
Handlers likely prefer him, put their people around him and drive policy while pops takes the heat.
Pretty sure the same thing is true for Trump.
These are gereatric and senile men. They ain't running shit, their staff are doing the real decisions
