Alex Cruikshanks: In other words, discounting the non-politician fantasy candidate who has no interest in running for office, Biden is actually the best option and Harris the second best, at least on this polling.

All is not lost. Don’t act like all is lost.

Extra context: don’t mean to imply everything is rosy. But also this implies it’s an uphill climb for any other candidate too.

Yeah, and I can entertain arguments that numbers for non-Biden and Harris candidates isn’t totally comparable because of name recognition, but that’s another way of saying it’s an uphill climb.

Yeah, I don't think they're bad candidates, and I don't think they're incapable of making up the gap. But if you're pushing for as drastic a move as ousting the primary-winning incumbent and veep for someone entirely different, I want to hear certainties, not maybes.

I mean, Michelle Obama...

She is a fantasy candidate who has zero interest in politics and would be relentlessly attacked the second she expressed any.

i dont even know why she was included in this poll/survey whatever

People have been including her in polls for a decade for literally no reason, she is not a politician! At least include Matthew McConaughey and Christopher Walkin to demonstrate that we're including last minute drafts from the audience

I....was joking.

I didn't mean you, I meant the poll

She would be called a racial epithet within two weeks of joining the race and Trump would not suffer in the polls for it.

Within a day, probably The right also have this obsession with claiming she is trans which is a whole yarn ball of racism, misogyny, and transphobia

If you can't attack them on substance, do so in the basic conservative ways.

Ah yes, the famously unifying "wife of former president" candidate strategy...

Also, give Hillary Clinton her due, she didn't immediately try and go for the top job, she ran for and served a full Senate term to establish her credentials.

Okay so I didn't label it as a joke. My bad.

I was hoping it was. :) In which case my sarcasm isn't directed at you, but at the people who might as well think it's serious, and think it's a good idea.
