He probably would have won. I feel most of the backlash because of the debate was a manufactured snowball effect.
It's so easy for right-wingers to say, "I was going to vote for Biden, but not after that debate!" when they were going to vote for Trump all along.
I unfortunately don't think most left-wingers are autonomous enough to recognize this kind of behavior.
Pivoting to Kamala Harris of all people was perhaps the worst decision they could've made, and shows how out of touch the democratic establishment is with the working class.
If you considered voting for Biden for more than a few minutes, you're not left wing.
Who would you have voted for instead?
I voted for stein since there wasn't a centrist or left wing option available among the two main parties, and PSL wasn't on my states ballot.
If they put up a candidate that acknowledged a tiny bit of Biden's failures and deeply unpopular policies, id have voted for them.
