You a say it yourself. It didn't matter that the better option is just someone who polls better than Joe you just expect better turn out. It stopped being a debate of moral principle long ago, we are months out it's only strategy now.

Obviously, criticizing the DNC until election day is a losing strategy.

I'm not even saying you can't be critical, just be critical of the real scum bag in all this. Donal Trump. Every once of malice not reserved for the GOP is misplaced.

I simply don't understand this reply.

Biden looks like a losing candidate. Wouldn't both the moral and strategic answer be to run somebody who can beat Trump? Stopping the Christofacists from getting even more power seems both strategically and morally good.

Stopping that is important so why should the Democratic party not run the candidate most likely to win? If you think Joe Biden is the most likely to win Democratic candidate then I'd argue your misinformed or willfully ignorant.

Show me your evidence. You can't. You know it doesn't exist, and you're a complete ass for propping up the MSMs bullshit narrative.

Harris has already been performing better than Biden in polls vs Trump. Other alternatives have been performing similarly to Biden, but that's without considering that they don't all have the name recognition of being the current president and the likely nominee. If the party rallies behind any of those candidates those polls will reflect that change. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/

If you remember to open your eyes when you read this please don't fixate on the outliers and try to look at the trends.

Nothing about the polls you posted show kamala having a definitive advantage.
