    Bernie isn’t going to run, regardless of Biden stepping down. So he doesn’t count. Name someone currently in the running- that can beat Trump.

      I don’t think you can say what Bernie would do if Biden stepped down, he has stated that he will not run precisely because Biden is running again and he doesn’t want to make any voters think he was an option, the incumbent is just automatically going to win the primary. He doesn’t want to sour any voters that really wanted him to win the primary when there is no chance he will win going up against an incumbent. If Biden stepped down and it was an open DNC primary then I think Bernie would almost certainly run again.

      You are being weirdly stubborn in considering actual possibilities. I get that we are likely stuck with Biden but that’s because Biden is going to run again, not because there are no other options. Biden is not a good choice though and he should honestly step down, there are way better choices. Newsom would also be better than Biden and you could be sure if there was a primary with no incumbent in it he would be in there.

        I think I can say safely- and honestly say that he’s not an option.

        Who has a chance to beat Trump THAT IS RUNNING.

          You are like a broken record. No democrat is going to run against incumbent it would be pointless, there is no chance they will win a dnc primary with Biden in the race. The incumbent always wins the primary and everyone knows that except apparently you, but that doesn’t make Biden the best choice, far from it. Especially with the dnc canceling primaries where progressives might actually win like NH. The Marianne williamson run was just a protest run, she didn’t think she would win.

          The problem is Biden is running again despite him saying in 2020 that he would be a 1 term president.

            I asked a simple question. You’re dancing around the answer by suggesting impossibilities.

            It was suggested to run someone that is better than Biden, I asked who could run that could beat Trump.

            I’m a broken record because you’re dodging the question and refuse to admin that there isn’t anyone that could right now.

              There are people who could right now if Biden steps down which he should, he’s a genocide enabler. Sorry you refuse to admin that

                Biden isn’t stepping down. This is established. So you’re refusing to answer the question.

                We’re done here.
