I always wondered this too

yes, because you measure at your waist but you don't wear your pants at your waist

the argument isn't that people will switch sides, it's that more right-leaning people will vote who would have otherwise just skipped

My understanding is you don't actually need to update the copyright year.. if anything it's kinda misleading if you only have the current year

the DNC kinda prevents legitimate alternatives from succeeding though. It doesn't have to be this way but the party keeps it like this, maintaining the incumbent as the only choice.

People want more options and they would be available if it was remotely possible to overcome the DNC's favoritism to Biden.

how is Biden the only person that can beat Trump? What left-leaning person would go "hmm, it's not Biden so I guess I'm voting Trump"?

Do you think even swapping Bernie in now that he could beat Trump?

This question broke me. If the left-leaning voting population of the USA can't support a single candidate against freaking Trump except Biden then we deserve whatever disaster occurs. That's embarrassing. Truly childish levels of spitefulness.

this is kinda a ridiculous request. The DNC should be the ones actively finding and presenting alternatives. If it was any other election year what if something happened to their primary candidate?

No one publicly shows interest because the party prevents any alternative. Anyone trying to run is accused of trying to break up the party, look at what happened to Bernie.

that doesn't mean much. If Biden dies, Trump will likely win.

If Trump died that wouldn't really change what the Republican party is trying to do.

died of natural causes?

it's real but is it "real" like how the border wall was "real"? I think that's where a lot of people are at.
