        JB Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer, perhaps Gavin Newsom. Even Kamala Harris would have a better chance than Biden. Next to no one is voting Democratic because of Biden, people are voting against Trump. You could swap in literally anyone who isn’t 90% corpse and get at least as good a result, and almost certainly better. This idea that people would be turned off the Democrats because Joe Biden wasn’t the candidate is a joke and I don’t understand why anyone would be under the impression.

          Yes, Literally anybody! What a silly premise for question… This is Hillary Clinton all over again. Democrats are being force fed the worst possible candidate we can get.

          With that said, Kamala Harris is the best answer I think, for logistical reasons. But let her choose a good running mate that may bring some excitement and I think the democratic voters may come out to vote.

            This IS Hillary all over again but it’s only because you dumb fucks are choking down obvious propaganda and asking for more. Just like 2016.

          No one knows who that is.

          Gretchen Whitmer

          Doesn’t want to run.

          Gavin Newsom

          Doesn’t want to run.

          Even Kamala Harris would have a better chance than Biden

          A Black woman? You’re in fucking fantasy land.

          I would be willing to believe JB could do it. don’t know enough about Whitmer, think that Newsom has a chance but could just as easily be a Mitt Romney, and personally think you’re a little out to lunch if you actually think Kamala would win when Hilary didn’t.

            Then you aren’t informed enough to even be talking about this

                The child above me and their lack of knowledge has no relation to prudent political decision making, and their opinions are not reflective or representative of anything

                A random ignoramus on the internet does not determine anything, much less what is wise for the country or the Democratic Party.

                  Are you serious? The vast majority of the voting age citizenry are ignoramuses.

                    I am serious that anecdotal evidence is not statistically significant and that, therefore, one random child is not representative of anything
