re: Convinced Biden was a sacrificial lamb

I was told in January by a friend who is very active politically in DC that the Democrats were going to get Biden nominated bc their internals said nobody in the race had a chance against Trump due to the economy however Biden not Sanders presented the best chance for them to not get crushed down ballot and they didn't want to throw any of their "future stars" into the buzzsaw and waste them on this election. They were clearly not anticipating Covid and when it hit they were stuck with a bad candidate. I assume had they know Covid was going to hit you would've gotten a Gavin Newsom type.
