I do think the Dems are in a tough spot with Biden as nominee right now. I don't know that any alternative (at this point) is any better though.

I honestly have no idea what the best answer would be / what would give them the best shot. I'm utterly perplexed.

This is not completely unlike homebuyers who signed a mortgage with amortization information and are now saying "what, a balloon payment??" - Max Jul 17, 13:43
I think old people are pissed off with the way people are knocking Biden. And old people vote in great numbers. -- nm - Loyola Jul 17, 13:33 3
- We old people would be voting anyway, it's the younger meh crowd are unmotivated and if they don't show up the Christo fascists certainly will... - zeitgeist Jul 17, 13:39 1
  - We can only pray that the republicans have pissed off enough young people with Roe and all this other garbage that they will vote. Or be too scared - sycor Jul 17, 13:42
- a legitimate point I've seen made elsewhere. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 13:33
i think they're still running against a 34-count convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, avowed dictator-in-waiting, Project 2025, with the best economy - hollywood big shot Jul 17, 13:32 3
- This. I think many would like the generic younger option, but that ship sailed. Keep screwing around and you're going to lose. Commit and you can - pmb Jul 17, 13:35 2
  - As screwy as polls are right now, you might not even be behind right now! -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 13:36 1
    - Right. I really don't buy the polling here, but I think they're backing themselves into make it a reality by screwing around. -- nm - pmb Jul 17, 13:37
I think there is a real, and understandable desire to have Generic Younger Democrat as the candidate, and that's being expressed in polling - Reagen Jul 17, 13:31 4
- The real bummer is the fact that Biden was probably the only person who could have taken out Trump in 2020 - and that just cut out some - Turd Ferguson Jul 17, 13:34 2
  - all the “qualified candidates” couldn’t beat him so I’m dubious of their ability to have actually won that November given how razor thin the margin - hollywood big shot Jul 17, 13:39
  - He hinted at that but it would have been terrible to start that way. Being a lame duck president is a tough position to work from. - pmb Jul 17, 13:36
- Heh, and Pelosi just went "He said what" -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 13:33
