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.
I'm with you there, brother.

On Biden, I don't think he can sustain the advantage he has right now in the polls. It's early. Most people aren't paying attention, and he benefits from his stature. But based on his past performance, he's not good at campaigning. It's one thing to get re-elected to the Senate in a small state like Delaware, and another to run for President.
I'd like to be wrong. If Biden can run a strong campaign and win the primary, that'd be excellent, and I will be 100% behind him. I am just worried that too many Democrats are thinking, let's pick a candidate that other people will like, and that that's a poor way to get a good candidate.
