They are not bound to lose.

That is a statement that is being pushed, along with the whole Biden "Over prepared" thing as a talking point to push why we have to stick with a dementia-addled genocidal asshole.

It's simply not a true statement. You're stating an opinion as fact, and it's misleading as shit.

The second someone else gets picked is the second that they (Whoever they are) have name recognition and people will consider that person.

I hope you’re right. I want you to be right. And I agree at this point the Democratic Party ought to try - damn, they’re losing anyway so they might as well try.

My worry is that an alternative candidate that is worth their salt AND want to run against Trump can’t be found. I hope I’m wrong.
