And, btw, I completely agree with your "two thoughts" post.

Ph’s post ignores that Feinstein was in office until she literally died of old age when the obvious implication was that she should have retired from office long before it got to that extreme.Okay they’re both old af and should have been chillin with great grandkids instead of holding enormously consequential jobs at their age range?
No, because the people supporting Biden are old people and the party base, and those people vote reflexively like it’s their job. They are not fickle voters and I am not worried about losing them in the least.You’ve spent years posting about the risk of non-voters if Biden is the nominee but you’re not worried about non-voters if Biden is replaced?

I know it's citing wikipedia, but that's definitely not true in the 2020 presidential race.Up until 2016 maybe. But since then Democrats have generally outperformed polls. Seems like pollsters are flailing for solutions to longstanding problems.
The "nationwide trend" in this article links me to a 538 page that says that of the head-to-head Biden v Trump polls recently done things range from Biden +1 to Trump +5.Loading…

Too bad there wasn’t any way to measure her popularity before choosing her as his running mate.Don't we all agree that the concern about Biden's age/health/future competency would be less of an issue if his running mate was more liked?
I think giving the new candidate less time to energize voters to cast a vote for them would lead to less turnout, yeah.Do you believe the general election turnout numbers would change significantly if the candidate changed now or a few months from now?
Presidents aren’t elected nationally. Biden’s polling weaknesses are particular states that he desperately needs to win.The "nationwide trend" in this article links me to a 538 page that says that of the head-to-head Biden v Trump polls recently done things range from Biden +1 to Trump +5.
That's certainly concerning, but not panic-mode yet concerning the unreliability of polling at this stage and the uncertainty surrounding this election
Ok, so can someone link me direct Biden v Trump reliable polls in states like Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia that I should be super concerned about?Presidents aren’t elected nationally. Biden’s polling weaknesses are particular states that he desperately needs to win.
Not to be that guy but you can just google [state] presidential polling. These aren’t obscure opinions you are arguing aboutOk, so can someone link me direct Biden v Trump reliable polls in states like Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia that I should be super concerned about?
Agreed: but it's obvious now, whatever the reasons. Do Biden supporters still feel it would be heresy to replace Harris? Isn't it worthy of a conversation at the highest Dem levels??Too bad there wasn’t any way to measure her popularity before choosing her as his running mate.

I'm not the one that brought up super concerning polling numbers. Figured if that was going to be a topic of conversation we should all be looking at the same polls.Not to be that guy but you can just google [state] presidential polling. These aren’t obscure opinions you are arguing about
Trump leads Biden in Georgia, new poll shows
Biden narrowly won Georgia in 2020, the first time a Democratic presidential candidate carried the state since 1992.www.politico.com
i was about 100 posts behind when i posted that, my badfrom what, exactly?
And, btw, I completely agree with your "two thoughts" post.
Nationwide trends are pretty disconcerting though comparing them to 4 years ago at this time.Presidents aren’t elected nationally. Biden’s polling weaknesses are particular states that he desperately needs to win.
If you are going to be rhetorical and unconcerned you can do that without asking people to google things for you.I'm not the one that brought up super concerning polling numbers. Figured if that was going to be a topic of conversation we should all be looking at the same polls.
That’s what I took away from your post, too, fwiw
I understand that you feel differently, but I sincerely doubt that changing Biden's running mate would be a major difference maker in this election. Gavin Newsome or whatever instead of Kamala Harris isn't swaying any Trump voters.Agreed: but it's obvious now, whatever the reasons. Do Biden supporters still feel it would be heresy to replace Harris? Isn't it worthy of a conversation at the highest Dem levels??
