There was one timeline in which trump won 2016, and Obamaworld made it happen. Biden is right to think they may do that again by a) weakening him until he has to drop, and b) weakening Kams in an open primary so she loses the general, or c) putting up a nobody that gets stomped

I'm sorry, this is revisionist history. It is definitely true that Plouffe told Biden he would split the moderate vote against Bernie. BUT almost no one in Oct. 2015 was certain that Trump was going to be the nominee - or that he would be a favorite in the general election.

If trump is the weakest candidate in history, why does he poll so well against so many strong candidates?

Sadly, President Biden is not the campaigner he was in 2020—and looks very likely to lose to Trump, one of the weakest candidates in presidential history. I am convinced that a number of other Democrats, including Vice President Harris, stand a better chance of winning.

Yea, ppl think swapping Harris in means everything go away, when it really means jilted Biden ppl take the place of his doubters, and the media still spends a month or two talking about how smart they were and how they were right about Brandon all along

@chore_leo @Alejandro27Ale @jsharpe2023 Polls will probably remain fucked for a while even if Harris is swapped in imo. And there'll be some kinda freakout post-convention with the pro-Biden people saying "SEE this is why we should have stuck with Joe" Brace yourselves
