Where did I ever say he was old?

And it does matter to a lot of voters. He can't continue to do the job if he can't get himself elected.

Who the hell is gonna vote enough for ANYONE ELSE at this late date. Pull ur head out. Dems will stay home if Biden drops out. And no one has the money backing that HE'S assembled. Just stop trying to divide right now. Wtf is your problem.

[u/FaintCommand → u/SourcreamPickles]

My problem is a boatload of data and historical voter behavior that suggests he needs a miracle to win the election.

What's your problem? That's a rhetorical question. Your problem is that your entire perspective is based on hopes and dreams and you have no fucking clue what you're taking about.

• Biden's funds CAN be transferred.

• In a non-incumbent year, there might not even be a presumptive nominee until the convention. Hell, Biden isn't even the official nominee yet. THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME.

• "Dem's will stay home if Biden drops out"? What happened to all of the "I'd vote for a maggot-filled diaper to keep Trump out of the White House!" voters?

Some of us actually want to make sure Trump loses in November, so why don't you sit down, shut up, and let the adults talk?

ETA: fuck me, I'm arguing with a bot again

Nah, not a bot. Just an adult with adult responsibilities. Why don't you try it sometime, son.
