The following was a response I made to another story about backing Biden, but I think it is too important to be missed. This is my short, to-the-point summary of the current candidate outrage:
Stand by your man is very noble and all, but the undecided voters who don’t really know Biden are who we should be thinking about now. And also the young voters who are not motivated by Biden. Devoted Democrats are going to vote Democrat, but we need the votes of all those who are not devoted Republicans.
Many highly respected, long standing political experts are calling for alternatives to Biden. These experts are very intelligent and experienced authors, scholars, historians and politicians who are 100% Democratic. They know the wide and far reaching context in which this election occurs. And they realize the absolute seriousness of this election outcome.
We need a candidate who will restore confidence and security to those uncommitted who are unsure. We need a candidate who will inspire and excite the young voters we so badly need. This candidate would have the forcefulness to shut Trump down for good.
That new candidate can make Biden their top adviser (more important than the vice president) so that we continue to have Biden’s influence.
So instead of getting emotional, let’s win this election!
