38. Beating Trump and fascism is all that matters.
Thu Jul 18, 2024, 09:08 PM
Jul 2024

Two-thirds of Democrats tell pollsters they want their candidate to step down. Trump is deeply unpopular, yet Joe is still behind.

If you have two candidates who are unpopular, what is likely to happen if one of those candidates is replaced by somebody who isn't as unpopular? That new candidate will likely open up a lead.
