It's not feasible to insert another candidate and expect to even get close to winning with just 4 months to prepare. Furthermore, the war chest amassed for Biden/Harris cannot be used for any other candidate and even if Biden dropped out and Harris continued, there would surely by lawsuits filed regarding the use of the funds registered in the name of Biden/Harris, not solely Harris. What people seem to be ignoring is the fact that a good/effective leader is ALWAYS surrounded by a stellar TEAM along with decades of experience behind them. That team is what Democrats (and likeminded others) need to keep in mind. Would we prefer a team of Christian Nationalists and Fascists behind a sell out con man in the oval office? or an aging but experienced President with a team that has been getting work done and will continue to do so. I'm going to stand behind Biden/Harris because the alternative is much more dangerous.

Do you understand that normie voters don't give a shit about any of this? They know that politics, as it functions in the modern United States, has no real power to improve their lives, but because they like to keep participating in the forms of democracy, they go out and vote. But they're not gonna vote for someone's "team." They don't give a shit who he surrounds himself with when nothing he does makes their lives any better, and when he seems actively scornful of the very idea that he should make their lives better. They're just gonna vote for who seems like a "strong leader." All they have to vote on is vibes, and the Biden vibes are fucked. There is no rational case you can make to them, because there is no rational case you can make for politics itself.
