No matter what our opinions are, we have to be fact-based here.

40. I am trying to be as fact-based as possible, and my mind is made up. If Biden withdraws...

…we have already voted on a Plan B and that is Kamala Harris. She was on the ballot too, and I voted for the ticket knowing full well there are risks associated with voting for someone who would be 86 in January 2029. If Biden drops out Harris is the nominee. Period. And anyone else who voted for Biden voted for her too.

People say there are huge risks associated with it but I’m not among them. She’s been vetted, has the experience, and the age issue goes away immediately. Her poll numbers may not be the best (whose are?) but Americans would finally get what they’ve been telling pollsters all along what they’ve wanted: a race that’s not between two octogenarians. They’ve been telling the pollsters they want someone younger. The Democrats would be the only party offering them that.

Looking at Biden on stage last Thursday was the first time I questioned that he really might not have it in him for another 4 and a half years, before that I thought it was just a bunch of caricaturing from Fox. But it happened and we can’t unsee that, that was not the Biden I saw debating Trump in 2020. I strongly approve of the job he’s been doing as President but I know the job is extremely hard on anyone (who takes it seriously).

If Biden decides to continue on and the Dems think it’s a good idea too of course I’ll support him and eagerly vote for him, Trump simply cannot be re-elected. In the end I don’t know what is really going on behind the scenes but party leadership does and I think this will all be sorted out. But make no mistake, I also voted for Harris and would like my vote to count for something.
