General Discussion

We don't vote nationally, so national polls are a loose metric that don't give a good picture of the race. Here's a link to the state polls when Biden dropped out. Trump was leading in all of the swing states. Which as cited below matches up with Trump winning in a runaway landslide. We went from tied in Virginia with Biden to Harris winning by 5.

Then we find out when the Biden campaign becomes the Harris campaign, that the Biden campaign’s own internal polling at the time when they were telling us he was the strongest candidate, showed that Donald Trump was going to win 400 electoral votes.

Sorry, but after that debate, there was no path for Biden to win. He never should have run again, and we definitely shouldn't still be trying to blame everyone else for things. Partially because it's a waste of time, partially because it prevents us from taking our own agency as a party. Biden didn't drop out because George Clooney wrote an oped or Jake Tapper wrote a book. Giving that much power to a random celebrity is just a weird take.
