I am getting so sick and so mad at everyone saying #Biden should drop out. The way you can tell it is disingenuous is that nobody is saying "person X would win" or "more people would vote for Y if they were the nominee instead of Biden." Nobody who wants Biden to drop out wants the #Democrats to win. Because they're not presenting any compelling reasoning that Democrats would win with a different candidate. Getting Biden out is how they get #Trump to win. #uspol

@paco More people would vote for Harris if she were the nominee instead of Biden, especially if she picked an establishment running mate.

Happy?

re: uspol 

@LouisIngenthron I disagree. I think Trumpism is a direct backlash against the last black president we had. I think, like Hillary Clinton, a lot of people would find reasons not to vote for Harris that they would swear have nothing to do with her race or her gender. I do not think she could win in a general election. And I definitely don't think she would win the general election if she only just started campaigning now. On top of all that, Biden is a good president and we should vote for him, given the situation. Would I vote for Harris if she were the nominee? Sure. Without a doubt. But that's not enough.

re: uspol 

@paco There may be a few people who choose not to vote for her due to her gender or race, sure.

But I think a lot more people would choose to stay home and not vote for Trump because at least Harris would be a competent alternative. They know Trump is a bad guy, but they're more scared of Biden sleepwalking us into a war or something.
