But, when democrats lose due to this move.... ????

I would have preferred him to stay on course. While I don't care what sex they are or color or whatever, a fuckload of garbage twats in this country sure as fuck do. Biden was also likeable in public appearances. I have fuck all idea what Harris is like, and 5y of time vs like 4 months to win public opinion, oof it will be an absolute blitz. And I consider myself rather knowledgeable and up-to-date on US politics. I have friends that have no idea what's going on at any given time, or why.

I need to research her now and become familiar, but I see this as a big negative for chances, not positive. Anxiety spiked hard about what's to come.

Anyone in Canada looking for a roommate..?

This is my least favorite argument I keep seeing for why Biden shouldn't drop out. The racist shit-heels you're referring to were always going to vote for Trump regardless of who the Democratic candidate is. There is no reason for Democrats to try and appeal to racists, and even if there were it would be immoral to do so. Sacrificing your values to win is no true victory.

You're losing your nerve, and while that's understandable, it's self-sabotage.

I wouldn't say I'm 'sacrificing values', more like "woman bad, no vote for" is strong here still. Yeah yeah 'we will see how it goes' but that's exactly what fucking scares me, we don't get a "best 2 out of 3" save, and we need fucking EVERYONE on board to avert catastrophe.

I'm in a swing state and it's like a sea of Trumpers and I'm just like "yeah, we are fucked".
