What is more risky?

10. Unfortunately, my life is on the line this November

and you're asking for me to be silent in the face of almost certain death if trump gets back in. If trump doesn't kill me, my trump-induced high blood pressure will.

I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

Plouffe shook me out of my bubble last night: we are losing. Look at the polls.

And then when I talk to the people who we really need to vote this fall, they don't want to vote for Biden. No matter how many warnings etc. They think he's old and unfit. Even my old ass parents say it. And I'm not talking about white trumpers either. These people were part of the coalition in 2020 to get trump out.

There are things Biden can do and say to silence the critics. It would involve multiple unscripted pressers and townhalls; listening to suggestions regarding camera placement, optics, hair, and yes even makeup. Is he open to any of that? Until then, it's ok for us to fully understand the options and risks that come with each option.

Where is the evidence that we're on the safer path right now? We're in uncharted waters. We talk about how disastrous it was for Democrats to have an open convention decades ago, but our party has never attempted something like this before either. Repubs did it with Reagan, but our side does not fall in line as easily. And I'm not suggesting there's any comparison between the 2--I personally am confident in Biden's abilities, but the general public is not.
