You are using a strawman argument (yes, something that really is an "invalid" argument): you have invented a make-believe person who says something stupid ("Biden said he wants to force people to the polls. This is especially bad for older people who blah blah blah...&quot , and then you pretend that you being able to imagine a stupid Republican is the equivalent of a telling argument in the hands of the Republicans.

I notice you are completely ignoring the reality that the general election is genuinely undecided, while the primary is acknowledged by all to be effectively over. Ignoring reality, and saying "nothing must ever be done that a stupid person could make a stupid, unconvincing, useless argument about" is no way to discuss, or organise, anything.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
