4. "centrist surge"? Give me a fucking break

If there was a centrist surge, then Gillibrand, Booker and Hickenlooper would be in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place behind Biden.

Biden is in first place not due to centrist policies (what are his policies anyway?), but because of name recognition only. Things will shift significantly in a month after the first debates, and even moreso by the September debates.

By the time the first votes are cast, Biden will likely be the only centrist (unless you consider Harris a centrist) left running.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
