It's not a question of pulling our heads out of the sand. It's a question of it being way too late in the campaign cycle to change candidates.

Why? When the conventions ruled (prior to the 1980s) they happened in the summer, now with even more instant communications and the ability to reach people by dawn tomorrow, why is it “too late”? Your insistence that it should have been decided a year ago is strange. If you see a dam breaking try to fix it, don’t just say “Well, it’s too late to do anything about it now.”

What is do find interesting is that people are more concerned about Biden than Trump

Not at all, it’s simply that we accept that nothing will be done about Trump. In spite of his convictions for fraud, for rape, for more fraud, for other fraud, for stupidity and more fraud Republicans aren’t going to do anything; they’re positively giddy about it. With Biden there’s a chance to correct a wrong before it goes past the point of no return (once the nomination is accepted.)

Agan we have two sub-optimal candidates. And only two. Pick one. Thee is no “door number 3”.

Technically we don’t have any candidates yet until they are “voted and accepted” at their respective conventions. Until then it’s possible for anything to happen I hope it does, but I don’t expect it given the closing of ranks around Joe by his so-called advisors. The only way this works is if Joe voluntarily releases his delegates.
