    I would be willing to believe JB could do it. don’t know enough about Whitmer, think that Newsom has a chance but could just as easily be a Mitt Romney, and personally think you’re a little out to lunch if you actually think Kamala would win when Hilary didn’t.

      Post debate polls have had Harris up on Biden in swing states. Could she win? Maybe, maybe not. But it looks like she’d at least lose less badly than Biden. His debate performance was a death blow.

      Kamala has been polling better then Biden. the problem isn’t her popularity, it’s Biden looking like he’s died but doctors have refused to call it so they keep dragging him around. he even tried to salvage his debate performance with an interview with Stephanopoulos and still looked dead.

      idk if anyone believes he can take another 4 years without the doctors finally calling it and Kamala replacing him anyway. like, people who think Kamala can’t be a better president than TFG would probably vote TFG anyway.

      also it’s not like Biden won last time because everybody loves him. no one does. I’ve never seen an actual fan. he won mostly through negative partisanship against TFG.

      don’t know enough about Whitmer

      Then you aren’t informed enough to even be talking about this

          The child above me and their lack of knowledge has no relation to prudent political decision making, and their opinions are not reflective or representative of anything

          A random ignoramus on the internet does not determine anything, much less what is wise for the country or the Democratic Party.

            Are you serious? The vast majority of the voting age citizenry are ignoramuses.

              I am serious that anecdotal evidence is not statistically significant and that, therefore, one random child is not representative of anything

                If you only look at each individual tree as a tree, you’ll fail to realize you’re in a forest.

                  So if the above person was familiar with Whitmer then I should presume that most people also are?

                  Your points aren’t making sense. Anecdotal evidence gathered from a non-American child’s comments on a random post on a fringe STEM-lord website is not representative of anything.

                    Jesus you people are insufferable. Not knowing about Whitmer is a single anecdote that is consistent with a trend that is quite obvious and so help me god if you do that sealioning bullshit demanding a peer reviewed study about Whitmers name recognition
