    @Dan2078: eh no that’s not how it works, perhaps unsurprising as a Trumpy supporter you’re unaware of how something works. The dems will get rid of the next 11 themselves and then whoever’s left standing will or will not beat Trumpy. Need anything else explained?

    It’s been obvious that it’ll be Biden or Warren since about 3 months ago.

    Despite his obvious flaws, I think Biden is the only candidate who can win back states like Michigan and Wisconsin from Trump.
