I know that it's popular to dismiss President Biden. I get it. He's old. This is the first election featuring the 2 oldest candidates, ever. So what? The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election. To boot Biden from the ticket and try to bootstrap another candidate is madness. Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP will succeed is like firing the cook and hoping the dishwasher will give you Michelin-quality food. Stick with the old man, and figure out a way to enact his popular policies while also expanding the Supreme Court, enacting term limits and limiting "Christian" Nationalists.

To bury your head in the sand and continue to claim Biden is the best chance to defeat Trump is

...math.

Go see what happened in 68 when they swapped out the incumbent. In fact, it's been an abject failure every time. Landslide loss. Just talking about it is increasing the voter apathy and ensuring his loss.

The chance of winning with Biden is slim as it requires a lot of faith in Harris whom we really don't know. The trends show switching him out is a guaranteed failure, though.

Still a binary choice.
