I'm not a Democrat, but all these Democrats publicly-- or, worse, anonymously-- wringing their hands and/or maligning Biden are playing right into Trump's hands, because they're not talking about what an incoherent menace Trump is, and they're giving people permission to pile on and/or sit out the election. And people in polls who indicate that they think that Biden's mental acuity is less sharp than Trump's make me question their own mental acuity. Never underestimate the obliviousness of the American voter. I saw a 19-year-old woman quoted last week as saying she supports Trump because she blames Biden for increased restrictions on abortion and doesn't think Biden supports women's rights. How little attention does a person need to pay to know that Democrats are the party favoring greater access to abortion and Republicans are the party seeking to restrict access to abortion? I'm not making a value judgment as to which party is right or which is the best policy. It's just a basic fact of American political life, and there are apparently voters who don't grasp it.
No I don't know that Harris or Newsome would do better. I can't make such a statement. But I do believe that Harris or Newsome would be more effective at prosecuting the Democratic case for our policies. As an example, in the debate I think Biden did a terrible job attacking Trump on abortion. His argument about states rights is absurd and easily dismantled. He didn't do it. That was very distressing to me. He has to be able to carry the message in an influential manner, otherwise all candidates will suffer.
With respect to there being no competition in the Democratic primary, there were other candidates on the ballot. Including "uncommitted" votes in states that allow that, those other options totaled about 13 percent of the vote. Meanwhile, nearly 24 percent of Republican primary voters did not vote for Trump.I gather speed from you fucking with me.0 -
