Poll - Who Democrats support if Biden doesn’t run

I WISH it could be Hillary, but I think her time has come and gone.

I picked Mayor Pete, but … in the end, I’ll vote for whoever the primary voters choose.

Exactly this.

I’m about done with tired old white men making all the decisions. BUT unfortunately I think there are way too many people in this country who think that is the only people who should lead. I do not think a woman would get the votes. Although after the 45th presidency I do not want to hear that women are too emotional to lead. Because man babies are worse emotionally. I’m positive all the anti Obama shit was racism and racism has only gotten worse since then.

In a perfect world without so many of my fellow citizens being racist & misogynistic I would pick Stacy Abraham’s ( omg the reaction to that would be priceless to see ) or Pete Buttigieg or Corey Booker or Katie Porter. I personally have no qualms about Kamala Harris either, but the others have been more charismatic. I do understand she is doing her job as VP stepping back & casting tie votes etc. but if she expects to run she’s going to have to speak a bit more on what she wants to do. Come out of the shadows.

I am unaware of JB Pritzker he needs to tear a page from Chris. Christie’s book and grab himself some national attention if he wants to run.

But I fear that all those people who ‘I’m not a racist I’m not a misogynist’ people who can’t see their inner inherent biases will just fuck it all up. I have not seen any improvement in the last 2 years in terms of that. In fact what I’ve seen is a public doubling down on propping up and sustaining systemic white nationalism.

There has not been a Republican possibility mentioned anywhere that I would vote for I will not vote for Trump, Cruz, Desantis, Abbott, or Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I will not under any circumstances vote for any Trump being. Might as well vote for Putin.

Pete Buttigieg, definitely.

But of course I'll vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate.

The whole “xxx person doesn’t have enough experience” is what leads us to having only old white men. It’s bullshit. People in their thirties are successfully leading other countries, so why is there this ridiculous mindset that they can’t here?

A good leader will have good advisors. They don’t need to know or have experienced everything.

I didn't vote because it doesn't matter who the democratic nominee is because it will be a cold day in hell before I'd ever vote for a republican.

Samsies 

I don't really know anything about J. B. Pritzker, but I would vote for any of those choices.  My first pick would be Amy K and then Pete B---today.

This is where I'm at as well.

Amy K. Is one of my senators. I absolutely love her and think she would be a great president, but I don’t think she has enough name recognition nationwide to win. I also like Pete Buttigieg, Gretchen Whitmer, Stacey Abrams and yes, Kamala Harris. I think Hillary was probably the most qualified candidate for the job in a long, long time but I doubt if she would ever consider running again. Too many people thought she had too much baggage.

I think in general most voters don’t do enough research prior to an election (especially a primary) to really know who the candidates are, which is why name recognition comes so heavily into play. Just look at how many longtime people especially in low performing, high poverty red states that keep getting voted in over and over even though they do NOTHING for the majority of the average constituents? It just baffles me how some of these clowns have stayed in office sometimes for decades. It has to come down to people just voting for the same name they know and their political affiliation regardless of whether they are doing anything to actively help their states overall.

We are really screwed. I am in my 70s and I don’t think most 80+ people would have the stamina to do what Biden is doing. More power to him, but I hope someone appears out of nowhere

Dems are not holed up somewhere figuring this out, unfortunately. For all I will vote for them til I die because their platform most closely aligns with my views, they have nothing on the national Republican machine for messaging and organizing.
