In a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll, Biden's failure to consolidate his victorious 2020 support has left him narrowly trailing Trump.

    Aren’t the first primaries within the next few weeks? They would have done it by now if he was dropping out.

      They don’t actually have an obligation to honor or even run the primaries

        Of course, but if you’re going to pull a switcheroo you want to give it a veneer of legitimacy.

          i feel like they’ll pull the rug when there is almost no time left and the urgency of the situation will plow voters into voting for Newsom with very little of his dirt being aired

          You mean like in 2020 primaries?

            Yes, exactly. They didn’t remove Bernie from the options and declare Biden the nominee, they coordinated a drop out/endorsement from all the candidates who would take votes from Biden and then pushed him as the “responsible” option though the remainder of the primaries.

            Basically, they got people to actually vote for him in the primaries via behind the scenes ratfucking. They didn’t just say “surprise!” at the convention.
