I’m sure that the mainstream coverage has been terrible—I avoid it these days for precisely that reason—but I don’t think switching candidates is guaranteed electoral suicide. Plenty of smart and reasonable people are looking at Biden’s performance—and his polling—and thinking we’d be better off with another nominee. Biden himself—setting aside the glaring problem of his advanced age and obviously reduced mental faculties—doesn’t seem to grasp the dire consequences of a potential loss, based on his post-debate statements.
At this point, I (and lots of other people who are neither stupid nor crypto-fascists) think we’d be better off with another candidate. 4 months is tons of time in today’s media environment.
