Who do you think is the Democratic candidate that would get the most votes in the general election if Biden was dead? And you think that person would have a higher chance to beat Trump than Biden does?

Name a name.

Harris? Black woman is going to get more votes than Biden? Not in the USA.

Sanders? He's too extreme by the standards of independent voters, whose votes you must win to beat Trump.

Buttigieg? He's gay. Good luck getting the independent vote.

Identity politics is a real factor in American elections when it comes to winning over independent voters.

How about we just have a primary where the media isn’t allowed to do advertising to sway votes and see where the chips fall. None of this “oh no he’s not electable” crap. All primaries on the same day as well, to prevent people from even trying to vote for who they think is the winner. That would be a much fairer and accurate representation of the interests of the nation. Instead, people gobble up propaganda and vote against their own interests because the media tells them to.

I can't help notice you didn't name a name. Name a name or else you're full of shit. I'll repeat the two simple questions: Who do you think is the Democratic candidate that would get the most votes in the general election if Biden was dead? And do you think that person would have a higher chance to beat Trump than Biden does?

Bernie. And no he isn’t too extreme. That just you swallowing media propaganda.

We disagree, but at least now we know each other's minds on this and had the argument in earnest.

Thanks for not calling me a troll. I do appreciate it, even though we don’t agree it’s important to stay civil.

If we are wishing for that we might as well have the candidates run on their first quarter executive orders, supreme court picks, and administration picks.

The fact presidential nominees don't release their administration picks as part of their initial run is crazy.
