    All of the people who have worked so fervently to suppress and brigade any person who dare say that Biden is unfit for office and that the Democrats need to produce an alternative.

    Now the DNC has a shocked pikachu face that he is unfit for office and they need to produce an alternative.

    If only we didn’t have Blue MAGA boot lickers muddying the water for the past 3 years, we had already gone about the process, and this debate featured someone who was fit for the office.

    Trump literally shit his pants on stage (there was a point when his microphone was on where you audibly hear him fill his pamper) while doing nothing but lying and dropping buzz words and Biden STILL resoundingly lost the debate.

    Somehow found a way to top Boat-Shark-Electricity with Abortion-Civil Rights-Immigrant murderer.

    Fuck.

      Hearing “Trump is a threat to democracy” from Democrat leadership has started to make me seethe. They think it’s a one-way responsibility: we the voters are obligated to show up to vote for whoever they put in front of us, but they feel no responsibility to switch to a better candidate.

      If only we had some kind of “pre election” where members of the party got to hear from potential candidates and their positions so the party can be sure they’re putting forth the best possible candidate…

      Edit:

      Maybe call it: The Primary?

        Bernie/Ro Khanna can still happen.

        Either one of them in the President slot, either one of them in the VP slot.

        They will win all day.

          I mean, look. I was on both of Bernie’s campaigns. I put in thousands of calls for the guy. But brother, Its a pipe dream. Bernie polls 20-25 points ahead of both Trump and Biden. It wouldn’t be a W, it would be a Blue version of this map. Bernie would CRUSH Trump.

          But its not going to happen. The DNC would rather lose to Trump than ever consider a genuine socialist. I would LOVE to be wrong on this, but its not going to happen.

          Honestly, we could probably get Katie Porter through the wickets. We could probably get Gretchen Witmer through. I think we could get Inslee in. I’d put each of these at less that 20% stand alone probability.

          Honestly, the best bet, the one I think has both the highest probability of getting the nom, and can actually win:

          Andy Beshear

          He’s a somewhat progressive southern > two term < Democratic governor.

          He’s won Kentucky. Twice. Hes “a bit” progressive, but not a Bernie or a Ro Khanna.

          You know who else was a two term, southern, slightly progressive governor?

          Bill Clinton.

          I’ll bet Bernie with my heart. I bet its going to be Andy Beshear with my wallet.
