    Right. The one where this magical replacement for Biden that doesn’t have a name or a face could have jumped on a primary ticket if they had wanted to.

    Do you really think that’s not a possibility? Did you forget 2016 already? Sanders certainly wasn’t wanted by the DNC establishment, and they even found ways to put their foot on the scale, but he was still on the ballot in a high-profile democratic primary.

    If someone had wanted to replace Biden, as in like, actually thought they had a good chance of winning and wanted to do the job, there was plenty of time for that before the Russian propaganda machine started wiggling its way into center-left media outlets.
