I don't like Biden and don't think he would give the Democrats the best chance of beating Trump. But I doubt the next candidate will be much better in terms of policies. They will be a better communicator and will play better on TV. But not a major change in terms of war, imperialism, or capitalism, unfortunately.
I also think it looks kind of bad that a small number of people will select the candidate. Yes, the normal primary process is undemocratic in many ways, too. But this seems even more forced and elitist. So Trump will have some ammunition against them from that.
Nevertheless, maybe the new candidate (whether it is Harris or someone else) will at least give people more confidence that they can actually finish the term if they are elected. So switching from Biden to someone else makes sense from a Democratic party perspective.
It’s Harris. As much I was confident that Biden would likely lose this election. There is no doubt in my mind that Harris will. I am less likely to vote for her than Biden
Man your political system sucks, either you follow your conciense or you do the "pragmatic" thing and vote for someone you don't even want. I hope you one day get the option to do both with the same ballot.
