Here is why a poll saying many Dems want Biden to drop out is to be COMPLETELY IGNORED.

68. I think thats untrue

The people "freaking out" ARE the rank and file. At least in my circles. I dont know a single local level dem who doesn't quietly wish we had a different candidate at this point. The text conversations that flowed my way after the debate were not with elites. They were with regular folks, most POC or queer, who were freaking the hell out at the prospect that the debate might help Trump take power and end life as they know it. And the best i could offer them was that while I shared their dismay, I didnt think anyone was going to flip their vote over the debate.

And every one of them, like myself, will vote for Biden assuming he is the Democrat on our ballot. While he has had a damn good presidency, thats honestly not why. Its because the alternative is self immolation. And while there are some on the far left who think that an imperfect handling of Palestine is worth burning the whole nation down over, thats not the people who tend to text me to have candid conversations.

But not flipping votes is not the winning move here. Not voting for trump is great, but we need the less involved folks to show up and vote for our nominee.
