It is interesting to read the stories regarding the calls to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee for president. Those calling for his replacement are the same ones who have said “every vote matters” and “the voters decide.” In this case, the voters have spoken. They chose Joe Biden as their nominee.

Now the elites say he shouldn’t be their candidate because he can’t beat Donald Trump. If these elites were saying that he is unfit to serve, that would be one thing. They are not saying that. They are saying that the polls show that he won’t win. Are we now in a place where party elites choose the candidates based on polling data? That frightens me.
