    Biden:

    The only important thing is beating trump

    Voters:

    So you’ll step aside gracefully to maximize chances of beating trump?

    Biden:

    The only important thing is me beating trump

      If I were on the DNC, I would not choose Biden for reelection however I understand not wanting to change horses mid race.

        not wanting to change horses mid race.

        That would make sense if it was the middle of the general and not a month left in the primary.

        If we had an open primary with debates, we’d have known months ago

        It’s been the same since Hillary.

        The moderate wing doesn’t just want people to hold their noses, they want 100% loyalty and 0 criticisms.

        Because they know that moderate candidates fall under the tiniest bit of scrutiny of their policies. But they’d still rather risk trump than run a candidate Dem voters actually want to vote for.

        They aren’t on the people’s side, they’re on their own side.
