While his family was aware of how poorly he performed against Donald Trump, they also continue to think he’s the best person to beat the Republican presumptive nominee.
Ah, throw a dart and gamble against fascism is a weird hill to die on. And many people will die on that hill if Trump wins.
I promise you no progressive candidate (who are my personal preference for representation) could possibly win against Trump in this time. Centrists won’t save us via positive change, which is the real crime here.
“Wheel whoever the fuck in for all I care”
This is where democracy conflicts with what you want. A enormous number of people, large enough to tip the election, care very much who is wheeled in. Many fence sitters see anything other than the status quo as a threat. Biden represents the “safe” option to them. It sucks, but that’s the reality of why he can beat Trump and anyone younger, more progressive, or consisting of more than one “different status” have no choice.
We can’t have a choice of actual good candidates until we overturn Citizens United. At that point I’d agree with you.
Yeah, this is where we diverge. Until literally anyone else even attempts to out-stump Biden, I’ll disagree. Not other candidate actually put up a fight to unseat him. You can want someone else, that’s fine. But until that someone else actually tries, you get what you get.
Biden won’t ruffle feathers, and that’s all the fence sitters want. They’d prefer someone neutered and ineffective. That’s why he’ll win. It’s sad but true.
They fucking canceled the primary across multiple states, what are you talking about “no one put up a fight”? The DNC and their media arm didn’t allow a fight, and now it’s biting them in the ass as they realize what everyone else has known for the last 4 years; 81 year olds shouldn’t be president.

Biden is the gamble, even the party establishment is understanding that at this point, why can’t you?
Biden is uniquely equipped to lose this race.
