    Absolutely. Not beating Trump in an election is unfortunately not as easy when the system is so blatantly skewed in his favour. Swapping out Biden at this point carries lots of risk.

      Keeping Biden is a risk…

      He’s at 37% approval. 56% disapproval on recent polls. That’s worse than trump and historically an incumbent that low will be a one term president. I think Carter is the only dem that tried for re-election in modern political history with numbers that low, and he lost.

      Which everyone is just ignoring for some reason.

      Incumbency is only a bonus when people like you. And for a variety of reasons, people don’t like Joe Biden.
