If you ask me what’s absurd is clinging on to Biden against all the evidence. He’s clearly super unpopular, and that’s in no small part to his age.
He must step aside and basically any halfway reasonable candidate under 60 would be in with a decent shot of the job. Give the population something to vote for rather than vote against.
Right. Every “vote blue no matter who” voter will be voting blue no matter who it is. It’s just a vote against Trump. No one is going out specifically to vote for Biden. Could swap him out with any other warm body with a half functional brain and it would only mean extra votes.
There's no time to step aside. Primaries are over. Trying to squeeze primaries in now would be a disaster.
The time for Biden to step aside was a year ago. And honestly, as much as I have liked his policy (excluding Isreal), and still trust his administration to execute on even if he's incapable of leading it himself, that debate was terrible for his campaign.
There are only two options now. Continue running himself and try to salvage the situation, or hand the reigns to Kamala. Neither is a good choice, campaign wise.
There wouldn’t be new primaries. Biden’s pledged delegates would be released to do whatever they want. Obviously that has its own share of, small d, democratic concerns, but the better choice if you ask me.
