The fact that Republicans are the party better known for it, there are democrats that are equally dedicated to voting blue, no matter who the candidate is, and there are plenty of others in the party that genuinely see Biden as a good president.

But we are a minority, and we’re stuck with the reality that a change in presidency or candidacy at this point is disastrous on its own.
