    It’s pretty clear that Biden should’ve stepped down as soon as COVID ‘ended’ and he passed his big infrastructure/climate bill.

    He’d have been a modern Cincinnatus, and would have given Harris the best opportunity to make her case to the voters.

      If he chose an actual VP people wanted, it would have worked.

      Harris has an even worse chance of winning considering no one wanted her in the primaries.

      Harris SUCKS and she would have lost worse than Hillary. She was always an awful VP which is part of our predicament.

        I was so giddy over Buttigieg in '20. Followed by Elizabeth Warren. Biden was my 4th or 5th pick, with Kamala just before Amy Klobachar at last place. She’s just unlikeable.

        Why is she an awful VP? I hear people say this all the time and never really substantiate it other than she’s awkward at public speaking sometimes. I genuinely don’t know much about her other than that.

        Plus she’s currently polled as the best replacement to Biden as it is right now. And personally I think that’s who Dems should go with if they actually want to win. I don’t see how you pull Biden back in the polls after that debate. You just don’t. So we have to clench our asses and hope those polls are wrong? It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion.
