Your first mistake was thinking that Biden was inevitable and settling on him

There are a lot of people here that have settled on Biden without letting the process work itself out. You have only looked at poll numbers. You jumped on the person that currently has the best chance to beat Trump. But polls change. Biden is a two time loser for a reason. He is a good person overall and Obama carried him to the VP. But Biden makes too many mistakes on the campaign trail. He has clearly lost his edge. There is an obvious slowness in the way he speaks. His style and politics are from another era.

But some people support him despite his flaws and are shocked that everyone else doesn’t fall in line. Get over it. He’s not our nominee and this is the process we have to go through. He will continue to be exposed because of his antiquated techniques, his touchy feely nature, and his elderly appearance. Biden will be a three time loser. Hopefully that is in the primary and not in the GE.

1. Think what you want.. but do not accuse those of us who support the VP that we did so

without looking at other people.. that is just insulting.. seriously insulting.. I assume people support other people because they have good reasons of their own...

3. Maybe he is a red herring to get the gop to concentrate on him and let the rest

slide by.
Then his gaffes will increase to give the rest of the fleet to gain on him and leave the gop flat footed.

Just a thought.

WTF? Telling people to “get over it” won’t do anything to help people decide.

My primary is 9 months out. Let it play out and not be rude about it. 🙄

7. think and say what you want, in the end Biden will be the democratic candidate and we all have to do

our part to ensure he beats Trump.

No more time for temper tantrums and fits. No longer a false choice between lesser evil, we see what that gave us the last 2 years

10. I agree with every word in your post. Any candidate that is going to fail needs to do it now.

Not later. Too much is at stake. Biden would be good in an SOS position, cleaning up the mess from Trump but it's time to move on from the past and let others lead.

Today.

I've changed my DU preference four times so far. Many current Biden supporters may do the same.

I doubt very many have settled on a final decision and there's a long way to go.

...and his elderly appearance."

I'm pretty sure his appearance is already 'exposed.' And there's a hyphen in touchy-feely.
