True, maybe my "America view" is more informed by my community than polling of the general populace. 20 years ago I wouldn't have voted for a gay/lesbian either. However, during those same 20 years, and much how I have changed, I see more religious and conservative people I know and interact with become at least tolerant if not welcoming to a community they would have once shunned. One such individual def votes Republican and actually performs at Mar-a-lago as a singer regularly, she would support Pete and is very open to the LGBTQ+. Maybe the divide isn't so wide, you did however call me out quite accurately, eternally optimistic.
Also, even Trump won't even support Project 25 publicly anymore, so I don't think it actually is a great barometer of the general populace. And Fl, well, as a transplant to FL, all I can say is I'm doing my part to change the narrative. Futile, I know. But I haven't seen a Goliath I didn't at least think in my head I couldn't take down given the right resources and time. lol. Now that is beyond my optimism and venturing into my "delusions and only things I share by posting anonymously about" land.

Sunk cost fallacy most likely. Biden officially announced last April. Dementia can set in very quickly and even 1 year is a long enough time for major decline in dementia world. Timing could hardly be worse, I can see some positives though. It is almost too late to reset the counter and choose a new candidate so bringing Harris out as the front runner now could def limit the amount of infighting and time for division in the Dem party keeping a mostly unified electorate solidified behind a Presidentially endorsed successor.
Yes, I wrote very long run on sentences. It's a problem. No I won't work on it.
