I find it interesting that even half the (D) voters don't believe Biden will make a full term. I don't believe he will either, I just didn't think they would admit it. But then again Polls aren't always correct.... right ?
I have a far left Democratic relative who I converse with, only to get a sense of what's happening with those people, and she freely admitted to me that she and her friends think Biden has some kind of issue what will prevent him from
mentally completing a full term, but they don't care. One said basically just let him get sworn in and then remove him under the 25th amendment, fine with him, and have a younger more "progressive" president. Some of them also Biden should not debate Trump because some on the fence voters might see he's got a problem and be afraid of voting for him.
I asked if it doesn't matter who is the presidential nominee if all you want is the VP pick to take over, why didn't the Dem's just nominate that person in the first place? The answer I got was that there are some old establishment voters in the party who would be ether be afraid of nominating a true progressive, or that while they might
want a true progressive they don't believe some independent voters in the general election would vote for a true progressive, and that this election is too important to let Trump win. Basically fool the American voter who is in the middle of the political spectrum to think Biden is the reasonable alternative, and then get Biden out, because those people aren't "enlightened" enough to knowingly vote for a true progressive who would not just say "I want to do this" but actually get progressive issues done. It almost sounds like a bait and switch to me.
