    Unfortunately current polling

    Can you like a source who’s method isn’t quick and dirty polls by a company who makes whatever polls there donors want and whose founder didn’t get arrested last election for using his companies polls to try and influence election results so their literal bets on elections would pay off?

    Bonus points if the founder also didn’t solicite their employees to enter an illegal straw donor scheme.

    Hint:

    Not from this absolute shit show

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_for_Progress

    Quick edit:

    The poll your likely referencing compared pro-Israel moderates to Biden.

    All it shows is the people dont just not want Biden, they don’t want Biden because of his policy stances and they don’t want someone else with the same conservative policy

      So who’s your candidate, and how would they win enough votes from a major party in which 50+% of people are (unfortunately, but accurately) moderates?

        in which 50% of people are (unfortunately, but accurately) moderates?

        Do you think it’s easier to convince 50% of Dems to vote for more than they want, or for less than they want?

        And that’s not even getting into how even Republicans agree with progressive policy.

        The policy is popular. But with moderate Dems, republicans, and pretty much all of mainstream media fearmingering about progress, people won’t label themselves progressive even though they agree with the platform.

        So who’s your candidate

        I hate how people phrase that like anyone saying Biden is a stupid risk, are just saying that because they have a favorite candidate…

        Anyone that’s not pro-genocide, is pro-worker, and not trump would have a walkin victory.

        You asked for one specific person, so AOC has the best chance to stop trump in my opinion.

        She’s young, charismatic, a great public speaker, and can flip red states like Obama in 08 due to those traits.

          You are in a tiny tiny echo chamber if you think she’s got a chance. This election will come down to firmly purple swing states, and literally not a single one would swing blue for such a divisive candidate. (Not even saying she’s divisive for good reason, just that she objectively is when you look at public sentiment).

          Biden is so unfortunately the best chance to avoid Trump, and he’s not even a great chance.
