15. We have no path without those 'past' states...name the states that replace them.

We will lose in 24 too if we don't win back those states or are you one that really believes we take Texas and Georgia this cycle or in the next decade. With the blue wall and Virginia...we had a guaranteed win...but now that's blown to pieces and no candidate who has a shot besides Biden to take any of the blue wall states. Harris won't win in the rustbelt...she will be viewed as 'East Coast' (unfair to be sure ) Trump will resurrect Pocahontas...And her ideas won't fly in the rustbelt either. Harris will be viewed as West coast and her policies won't fly and she won't win PA...she just won't. That leaves nobody really. Biden can do it... but some are so convinced that this is the progressive moment despite moderate gains in the midterms that they risk reelecting Trump by picking a nominee who can't win. I will vote for and work for any nominee...but I really believe Biden is the only one with a chance.

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