Bro... the guy who wouldn't vote for impeachment bc he said the Department of Justice could still hold him accountable is now going to endorse him? Is there a bolder proclamation from the mountaintop that politics is bullshit?

He deserves no credit for doing anything to stop Trump.

But "the black people" like him because he has been discriminated against in the legal system, just as they have been. His sufferings are similar to those described in a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where a participant in Survivor argued that he had it worse than those in the Holocaust.

The real reason "black people" like Trump is because he's into sneakers. Dude's got cred.

• "This may be his survival mode to pay his legal fees and get out of some sort of legal peril, but this is like suicide for our country," she said of the former president, who faces 91 criminal counts across four cases.

Not so fast!

• "What I will tell you is that I have serious concerns about Donald Trump," she said. "I have more serious concerns about Joe Biden."

Are the Dems sure they want to keep riding with Biden and just hope public opinion radically changes or the courts save them? Seems unwise.

Biden saved us from Trump by running in '20. Now it seems he can only save us from Trump by not running. Do the right thing again, Joe.

I'm not attached to Biden. I think he is far more preferable to Trump, and it's not close. I also think an alternative democratic candidate would leave a lot of ppl dissatisfied in different ways.

Electability should be a more important factor. I'd also prefer Biden to Trump, but it's clear (at this point) that the country is split. Split with Donald Trump! Not good. I guess the question is would a change in dissatisfaction be worse for Biden? I don't think Kamala would help the situation over Biden. But the elites in the party would melt down if the bypasses her. However, I don't think the base or independents would care. That is a big advantage that the Democrats have over the GOP. The base of the GOP wants Trump and there is nothing that can be done to dissuade them. The Democratic base isn't as delusional.

Completely agree with your first point. If your second point is true, and maybe it is, then it is a pretty strong indictment of the Democratic party's ability to put forth good candidates. Joe Biden wasn't incredibly compelling as a 46 year old presidential candidate. That he is now 81 and we are all like "Well, can't really think of anyone better!" is a little worrisome.

I can’t think of a more damming indictment of the Democratic Party than their inability to come up with a better candidate to face trump both in 2016 and now. Idiots.

Yeah, I'm still not worried. The internals of the poll are wild, and deeply suspect. What 10% of Biden voters, having rejected Trump for Biden in 2020, now say they want Trump back? With Trump's mental decline is clear display, I just don't see it.

[USUC]

I don't think Biden will be on the ballot in November. But if he is, he will lose to Trump.
