Horribly fascinating that Dems find themselves in this position. So the voters that are insisting we stay with Biden, if he loses, everyone that want an alternative is going to point the finger at them . And for those that want an alternative, if we do get that and lose, the Biden voters are going to point the finger at us. What a conundrum.

Of course, if Biden remains on the ticket, the ones that want an alternative are going to vote for him. Duh. But it is those swing states we have to be concerned about. Yes, 7 million more people voted for Biden but, in our stupid electoral college system that doesn’t matter now, does it? Hillary won the popular vote and look what happened. And the polls in the swing states, have consistently now for while either showing Biden behind or just so narrowly beating Trump.

So are the voters that are all in for Biden really truly believe that he can effectively last the entire term, given on the evidence of his declined so clearly in front of our face? Or is it just get him in now, and will deal with it later? So eventually it will be Kamala in that case.

Or we get a very strategic alternative for both president and VP that will energise the voters that are all wanting an alternative? An alternative that could convince the voters out there that don’t like Trump, but rightly or wrongly have convinced themselves that Biden would be even a worse choice? And they’re many of those out there. Get a team new and fresh, and the age issue which is the driving issue for many goes away.

The majority of Dems never wanted Biden to run for another term yet those voices are being ignored, ridiculed and lambasted. I’ve said before, both things can be true the same time, that Biden did a good job in his first term and saved us once, but that is not an automatic guarantee that it will happen again, especially given the evidence of him, currently. Go back and look at the election coverage from 2020, look at the Joe Biden then, and compare it to the Joe Biden now.

I just think it’s absolutely limited thinking that he is the one and only that the Democrats have. Kind of sounds like the Republicans, but they have in lock step fallen behind their supreme leader.

And yes, the people at the Bulkwark might’ve sinned in the past, but I am grateful they’re here now working to do everything they can to defeat Trump. I for one am I’m glad to have them on board.
