Hopefully they can decide swiftly on the democrat convention and Biden can rally the Democrat party united behind one younger more energetic candidate fit to lead the country
Party leaders and mega donors seem to have coalesced around Harris. So if it happens it'll be quick. I sincerely hope he's actually healthy and this is a managed exit.
Ugh. Harris? Really? Why not Dean while we're at it
"Democracy"
Yeah. But it's not like Biden was the product of a robust democratic process either.
I sure hope not. Harris is a sure fire way to a Trump presidency.
How about Mark Kelly?
Mark Kelly isn't well known outside Arizona. And I dunno about Harris being a loser here. The biggest complaint about Biden is his age. And she solves that.
… you were saying?
I'm impressed you came this far back. We work with what we know when we know it. In hindsight she ran a shit campaign that tried to tell her base they were wrong and get Republicans to switch sides. Shockingly, neither of those are winning strategies.
Viewed from a historical perspective, it’s hard to see how the non-incombent didn’t have a really good advantage.
Hindsight can always be 20/20, and think a Buttigieg/Kelly ticket would have done a bit better. Buttigieg has been in charge of infrastructure, which I believe has been well run. He’s from the rust belt, and is more familiar with the working class vs the candidate with California Progressive with a DA background.
Ultimately though, I think the fault lies with the Democratic Party hijacking the primary process.
Yeah, we should have run a snap national primary.
