    We are long past the point where it would have been feasible for Biden to withdraw. We were past that point well before the first debate. It is too late to get somebody else on the ballot in many states, including states that then Dems potentially need, like Nevada.

    Anybody still repeating the line that Biden needs to withdraw is either:

    1. Ignorant of how election law works

    2. A bad actor, pushing right wing/Russian talking points.

      Agreed. It’s too late to promote some lesser known candidate enough to compete with the frothing rotten cult of personality stench that surrounds the orange rapist.

      You can argue that it’s not a good idea for Biden to withdraw. That doesnt make people who think the opposite either Russian operatives or ignorant of election law. It just does not.

        Polls are massively inaccurate. Not just because of some sigma six level quantitative analysis, but because of the methodology.

        People 45 and under don’t answer the phone. When my phone rings I immediately block the person forever unless it’s a contact as do most people that are millennials and younger. So pollsters rely on who answers the phone, which is usually angry grandpa.

      lol says who? I can name Senators, US House representatives, senior strategists for Obama, even a former DNC Chair who fucking say otherwise. Don’t bullshit me.

      You’re not just wrong, you may very well be outright lying. Now show me your evidence or walk away.

      A long shot is better than no shot; but I suspect a bad actor pushing Russian talking points such as yourself does know this.
