You're basing your analysis on someone saying "stuff like...?" You must be kidding.
Biden is leading Trump by 8 points in Ohio. Hillary lost Ohio by 8 points. Every other Democrat in the current field is tied with Trump in Ohio.

It doesn't seem stronger. It
is stronger. And, I don't know how many times I have to say this, it doesn't matter how strong it actually is, because black people are going to the polls everywhere where they haven't been removed or blocked from voting to vote
against the racist in office.

Dude, you keep approaching this conversation like I am someone who can put eggs in a basket.
I am a black man, with black and Asian people all over my family. I am voting against Trump. Period. I am completely focused on whoever can beat Trump by the widest margin. If Kamala wins the nomination and ekes out a victory, that's not much of a win. We need seats in the House and the Senate. And the best way to get them is to get white people--many of whom
will not vote for a black person, or a woman, or a gay man, or an old Jew to pull the lever for the entire Democratic ticket wherever the fuck they are.
