Kinda beside the point? The question is really what chances will the nominee have.

The question is "What effects will his decision have?" and not "What changes will the nominee have?".

[–] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but the question was answered as if it was "what effect will this have on Biden's chances of being elected". Saying "Biden didn't have a chance anyway so nothing" is an irrelevant statement. The issue is whether it affects the Democrat's chances of having a winning candidate.

When I wrote my comment it was.thw only comment. I literally answered the question how it was asked.

[–] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

No, not really. Nobody asked what the effect was going to be on Biden being elected.
