    replacing Biden now may help Trump win, but it may also help Trump lose, whereas in contrast NOT replacing Biden now may help Trump lose, or it could help Trump win.

    Either that quote doesn’t really mean anything, or maybe I’m missing the nuance to it.

      Both action or inaction may either increase or lessen the likelihood of either outcome. Hence why politics is more complex than rocket science - think quantum entanglement.

        Turning the thermostat up will either cool the house or warm it. Turning the thermostat down will either warm the house or cool it.

          Touching the thermostat will either cool the house or warm it. Leaving the thermostat alone (aka, not touching it) may also allow the house to become warmer or cooler than it is now (you know, bc weather).

          Fyi this is asynchronous communication - you are allowed to spend more time thinking before speaking, if you don’t understand something.
