    It’s not. Democrats right now would vote for Biden if he was in a coma. We had the “luxury” of experiencing how each of them run the country.

    Biden, unlike other potential democratic candidates is more likely to have some non trump Republicans voting for him.

    The fact that media is only talking about Biden without urging trump to step down shows me the whole thing is astroturfed.

      This is about the most incorrect analysis I can imagine.

      You would. But this core contingent of “vote blue no matter who” people is not large enough to win in the general.

      Biden, unlike other potential democratic candidates is more likely to have some non trump Republicans voting for him.

      Biden represents the same thing the Democrats have been offering for decades. Anyone who’s a Republican has already seen people like Biden and said, “No thanks, not interested.” Yeah he’s a centrist, but he doesn’t cut across party lines because he doesn’t bring anything new or different to the table.

      The fact that media is only talking about Biden without urging trump to step down shows me the whole thing is astroturfed.

      This is an absurd conspiracy theory. There have been plenty of high level Democrats calling for him to resign, as well as a significant number of Democratic voters. His debate performance raised concerns about his mental competency that everyone who isn’t self-deluding can see.

      It’s completely meaningless to call for your enemy to step down. Why on earth would Trump listen to Democrats and liberal media outlets telling him to step down? What you’re suggesting is stupid and pointless, it accomplishes nothing and serves only to justify your conspiracy theory.

      Not like the Republican is an existential threat to American democracy or anything, we can just half ass it…
