President Joe Biden officially turned the page Wednesday to the general election, looking ahead to a race against former President Donald Trump that will test his ability to reenergize key corners of his winning coalition in a race his team views as nothing less than a fight for democracy itself.
Do they mean Democrats would prefer another candidate or Repuplicans would?
Yes, I think democrats wanted another candidate (Bernie was running away with it till the mass drop out and endorsement of Biden, eg, ratfuck two, electric boogaloo), but I also think democrats are resigned to voting for Biden.
Like its fine, we didn’t want him in the first place but this is obviously a strategic vote.
He could die any second, of natural causes to be clear. I like to think of it as voting for a corpse placeholder that will likely be replaced with Harris, who isn’t great herself but isn’t mostly dead like Biden or Trump.
This headline is so confusing…

That’s probably true for both parties. A large majority of voters didn’t want a Biden/Trump rematch, but here we are.

He’s getting a lot of votes for someone we didn’t want.
Again, who are you talking about?
