    They’re doing EXACTLY what needs to be done if they want to win.

    How would this help them win exactly? I’m not really well tuned with politics

      It was becoming more and more apparent that Biden didn’t stand a chance of winning, so staying in would’ve just handed the presidency to Trump. Now that he’s dropped out, the Democratic party can at least do something.

        That was the narrative pushed by media and bots. According to https://www.270towin.com/ it doesn’t look like even assassination attempt had any impact. Also the polls really start to matter after conventions.

          Yeah Polls show that Hillary has this and we don’t have to try anything different cause people will agree with me simply because I’m right, right?

          Can you stop calling people bots and trying to still throw blame around the party and just get in line like your type keeps telling everyone else too?

            Well there are bots that are influencing others and there are the influenced people.

            Biden wasn’t losing in polls despite the narrative, he is also extremely good at foreign policy and also was able to sneak some progressive things in bills. I don’t expect younger candidates to do well in that environment unless we get an absolute majority.

            While a younger candidate can encourage younger people to vote, we still don’t know if Kamala (or whomever it will be) will do well in the swing states.

            I hope it will turn out well though.

      Getting someone who’s more energetic and can run circles around Trump and his big mouth. Who’s got the energy to call his bullshit.

      Someone who’s not fucking geriatric.
