    But he should.

    Well, except that apparently the replacement the DNC has in mind is Kamala fucking Harris. I knew it’d be too much to expect them to grow any balls.

        Harris has been an active and progressive VP. She has been better and more effective than every VP going back to Dan Quayle.

        Her only problems are charisma, and right wing propaganda. Same as Hillary.

            Hillary was uniquely hated though. She was a solid first lady and an OK senator and pretty good secretary of State. And the discourse around her was brain boilingly toxic. Obama was the only Democrat that experienced something similar, maybe Pelosi. Biden, Clinton, and Gore did not get that level of visceral hatred.

      No shit.

      Biden’s mental state is a legitimate criticism but don’t expect the DNC to suddenly be anything other than center-left. Whoever would replace Biden would run with essentially the same platform.

        Center-left? DNC? On what planet? The DNC is a right-wing liberal party, it’s no flavor of Socialist, or even Social Democrat. Perhaps when the largest alternative is the GOP, filled with fascists and far-right populists, but that doesn’t change the views of the DNC, only their context.

          My argument still stands. No one should expect the DNC to replace Biden with someone more left leaning than Biden regardless of how you put the DNC on the political spectrum.

        I just hoped (stupid, I know) that SOMEONE would realize that salvaging the platform is the least of their worries.

        They need someone who energizes the base. That’s how they won in 2008. That’s how they lost in 2016. And they only won in 2020 because Trump was such a tremendous fuck up and piece of shit. AND STILL ONLY BARELY.

        God damn.
