    He’s the easiest one to beat yet they put Biden up again which is probably like the only guy who has any chance of potentially losing against him.

    Put any 48-58 year old up and he is probably guaranteed to win. It’s like the Democrats don’t want to win.

      Biden is the only person who has defeated Trump in an election. Past performance doesn’t guarantee the future, but it’s not as easy as you’re making it out to be.

      Nah, Biden is pretty likeable, neutral, uncontroversial, and a well known name. Kamala Harris would likely perform worse, for example. I’m sure there are many better people the DNC could have promoted by giving screen time and stuff like that starting years ago, but it was much too late to start that just months before primaries. And I’m guessing Biden and his administration didn’t want to step away.

      Unfortunately, it looks like the DNC is currently grooming Gavin Newsom to run for president in '28, and he’s extremely unlikable, IMO. And I’m not even sure there will be a real election in '28.
