    We’re only stuck with Biden because Biden and the people he put in charge of the DNC would rather risk trump than Biden step aside.

    We’re stuck with Biden precisely because the DNC doesn’t want to risk Trump, and the incumbent advantage is significant.

      and the incumbent advantage is significant.

      An incumbent advantage helps but isn’t an automatic win.

      Biden’s poll numbers are abysmal for Dem voters. The incumbent advantage likely won’t overcome his unpopularity.

      And when the most common reason his supporters give us just “he’s not trump” then literally any Dem candidate has that too.
