I don’t get why people say that he should stay in the race at this point. He’s going to lose. The best bet is to kick him to the curb and get a better candidate. One who’s not 120 years old and is wholly unlikable.
No matter who the candidate is, the media, and the GOP, and Trump, will still all ignore Trump’s entirely disqualifing attributes while attacking the Democrat over superficial bullshit. The media isn’t talking about right after Trump was found guilty he recieved the biggest donations in US history, or who is dumping millions into his operation. They aren’t covering Trump’s stump speeches full of absolute bullshit, I don’t think they’re even talking about him trying to disown project 2024 because of its obvious fascism, which apparently even his voters don’t like when it’s overly about over throwing the US government to install a dictator and privatization of the entire country’s resources for the ultra rich.
Kamala Harris is the only one I could see being a replacement, but it might be too late for that switch to actually work. Then again, it would be too late for any switch to actually work in that case, so I guess we’d have to hope that Americans would willingly vote in a mixed Black & Asian American woman as president. Considering most of the population are probably sexist enough for it to affect their voting patterns, on top of 70% of the population being white and mostly also probably having a subconscious racial bias affecting their voting, I don’t have much hope with that working even if they did do it…
I would say “if Roe vs. Wade made most women realized how close to danger they are in this election, it could work”, but if that were the case then they’d already be voting blue no matter who. So idk, all it takes is for like 60% of white people to vote Republican to elect Trump as long as they win key swing states. The only way to prevent that from happening is mobilizing the non-white voterbase & the progressive women voterbase in important states, like what happened in Georgia in the 2020 election. But with progressive voters seeming extremely disillusioned with Democrats now, might not happen.

I’m choking on my previous words right now

It might be a bit early, but I could see AOC stepping up if the Dems were to put a huge campaign behind her.
iirc AOC explicitly said she would never run for president a few times in the past, although that was before the… current situation.
