    Because you don’t give up the incumbent advantage in US Presidential Elections. It is bad strategy, and not only eliminates a very real statistical advantage, it makes the party look very bad which can actively hurt the party beyond just losing the advantage.

    There are people who have studied this shit their entire lives. You don’t know better than them.

      You know what would have been the adult move? Him resigning in early 2023 when people were starting to notice senior moments more and more often. Then we would not have had an incumbent who proved he belongs in the memory care ward on national television. You don’t suffer a loss like that debate and hide behind strategy. They fucked us. They fucked the country over one senile man’s ego.

      Are you saying that Biden would have done better than Harris?

      Yes, but when other incumbent governments were being voted out all over the world after the pandemic that should have been a red flag at least.
