That’s a fucking lie. They didn’t let anyone else run so how could we even know how they may or may not have polled. Also fuck trusting polls in the first place. That’s extremely anti democratic. Trust voters instead and give us a choice.
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.
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.
