    Biden stepping down at this point seals the election for Trump. Full stop.

      That must be why the GOP is fighting so hard to keep him on the ballot.

      It very much does not. Biden is set to lose to Trump already, his polls are not good and they’re all indicating Trump will win in all the swing states. And I doubt voters will change their minds about him after that debate.

      Kamala on the other hand already has name recognition, has a very similar platform and can take his over, and has all the funding.

      If they do not switch to Kamala, we will lose. Of that I am almost certain.

        Read up on what’s happened at every single contested convention and come back and tell me it’s not too late to pick a different candidate.

          Are you saying that we can rely on historical precedent to meaningfully inform us about the current election cycle? I feel like that illusion should be long gone in the Democratic Party.

          Look at just what happened this week. The press conference. The UN meeting. If we can’t swap, it’s a certain loss in my mind unless by some miracle people start caring about project 2025.
