Because those votes are mainly votes against Trump and even a trash can would probably pull in similar protest votes. All the more reason the idea of a better candidate that people are even slightly more enthusiastic over could push those numbers up
But your comparing Biden as “the candidate” with the DNC and millions of dollars of campaign against people that haven’t even said they’re willing to run…
Obviously anyone else that becomes the candidate would see a significant boost to their numbers both short and long term.
But others also are polling closer (better) than Biden…
Several other Democrats have been mentioned as potential Biden replacements in recent days, and each trails Trump among registered voters, with their levels of support similar to Biden’s, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom (48% Trump to 43% Newsom), Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (47% Trump to 43% Buttigieg), and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (47% Trump to 42% Whitmer).
That’s 4 people polling better than Biden in the last couple days…
You realize the Venn diagram of “Candidates the DNC financiers support” and “Candidates that would get more support than Joe Biden” doesn’t actually overlap, right?
The vast majority willing to vote for Biden, would vote “blue no matter who”.
Which means logically, switching candidates is the smartest plan if all that matters is stopping trump.
But a very small, very vocal group of Biden voters (and even Biden) seem to be lying about what’s most important. I still can’t believe Biden really said he wouldn’t care if he lost.
If they can’t get Biden. A Republican is their second pick.
They just won’t admit it.
But it’s the only logical reason people would be insisting it has to be Biden. Just like Joe, they don’t care if trump wins.
Personally i think they’re just as scared as we are. They’re just too fucking old to have a realistic picture of the political landscape. Gen X is going to get us all killed.
The party leaders aren’t the ones preventing a move on Biden. Basic support for Biden is tantamount to no action at this point but they are generally taking a wait and see approach. Im mostly taking about the political influencers telling you not to believe your eyes and ears.
Polls were not good before the debate. Maybe it’s too early to say what the effect will be but here’s the second report I’ve seen saying it’s getting worse.
Biden’s billionaires probably want to replace him with an even more unhinged capitalist who can lie his ass off to the plebs. Who could that be? Uh-huh! It’d be Gavin Newsom!
What are you talking about, before the debate he was even now he’s down by 2 points and his approval rating is hitting new lows. For context he was up by 8 points this time last cycle to win a close election in November. Joe is falling behind and people don’t like him, ignoring people’s dislike for a candidate is how we lost 2016.
Old Joe’s got everybody mad at him. Elites. Big money donors. Etc. Everybody it seems bur Democratic voters. Polls are the same as before the debate.

Yep. I’m voting against Trump, not for Biden. Trump could run against a rock for all I care.
Therein lies the rub. There aren’t any democrats that poll better.
No other democrat is campaigning though…
True. However, national exposure is a large factor and even if there was someone vetted, they still will walk unintroduced on the national stage.
Factually untrue.
This has Biden down 6 points. And Kamala only down 2.

Weird you haven’t seen it yet.

If campaign financing is the primary consideration then we deserve the shit storm that’s coming.
The press constantly talks about the so-called “money primary.” No Dem has ever objected to such phrasing.
The money primary is the actual primary in our system of governance.
We the plebs only get to pick one of the pre-selected billionaire champions.
Yeah.

Bruh, gen X isn’t in charge of shit…
You know Biden and a lot of party leaders are still the generation ahead of Baby Boomers, right?
The youngest boomers are 60, how many party leaders calling the shots are significantly under 60?
The party leaders aren’t the ones preventing a move on Biden. Basic support for Biden is tantamount to no action at this point but they are generally taking a wait and see approach. Im mostly taking about the political influencers telling you not to believe your eyes and ears.

To be fair, having those particular groups mad at you should be considered a good thing.
But it’s the opposite of what’s happening…
Can you name a single party leader or billionaire who has stopped supporting Biden this election?
Like, I know some party members and some donors have…
But no party leaders have said he needs to step down, and while some donors have, they’re relatively tiny compared to the actual big money donors.
Biden’s billionaires probably want to replace him with an even more unhinged capitalist who can lie his ass off to the plebs. Who could that be? Uh-huh! It’d be Gavin Newsom!
The polls are worse, by a lot. He is absolutely sinking and not coming back.
