i support the message, but if this is true why is the dem party hell bent on keeping the candidate who isn't actually engaging his base enough to make them want to go out and vote? If biden wins, I'll be surprised. Happy, of course, but surprised nonetheless.
Because they are shit at engagement, as proven since 1984
Because they prefer electing republicans to winning if the cost of winning would be compromising even a fraction of an inch with the left

Obama got people excited in 2008
