If the demographic data shows 18 to 20-somethings supporting Trump, it doesn't count.

Why focus on a group that doesn't vote? Polls show Biden ahead in that demographic though...so these count?

People need to stop with ridiculous conspiracy theories. You've become what you hate

I don't like his stance on reparations either, but I'd still vote for him.

How many people know much about Whitmer or Newsom? I've had people on political subreddits tell me that Newsom is too liberal, when he's always run as a pro-business, conservative Democrat.

Polling is useless until they're on a big stage and people know them. Biden is well known and has been trending down since April. Have Newsom as the nominee and come out swinging at Trump, now the he's too old argument plays well. I just don't know who is voting for Biden but not Newsom.

My reading on the subject, which is far from authoritative obviously, was that Biden can direct the funds anywhere he wants, he has the final say on where they go. Either to Harris's campaign, a Super PAC, or the DNC.

I understand what you're saying, but at the end of the day the campaign is going to put out press releases for what they're focusing on at that time. While they can't coordinate, they can just read the press releases that are released to the public and do ad spends based on them.

However, for reasons no one can quite explain, only one of them is being called to drop out of the race.

No one can explain? He got on a debate stage in front of the entire world and looked like a confused, doddering, and feeble old man. Any party would call for their candidate to step down after that.

As for why Trump doesn't get the same treatment, it's because the Republicans are no longer a political party, but have become a cult of MAGA. Hell they have people holding signs that say real men wear diapers.

This is an incredibly bad position. Saying that donors decide is nothing like saying "Jews run the world". It's not a conspiracy theory, it is a recognition that campaign funds are integral to a presidential election. If Biden can't bring in money then his campaign will fold.

But the current polling says Biden will lose to Trump, and he's been shedding independents.

This is simply untrue. He cannot give more than the maximum to another campaign, but he can give the balance to the DNC or a Super PAC to elect a new nominee.

How does the saying go:

The beauty of their women and the taste of their food has made the British the best sailors in the world.
