    You’re not wrong, but he’s the incumbent. They were never going to switch him out. He beat Trump last time, and there’s no way the DNC was ever going to float someone different. Hillary was not the incumbent.

    But man it would be awesome to have “Yes we can” slogan energy back again. The speeches on the runup to Obama’s first presidential election were so morale-boosting. I ended up canvassing for him when I lived in northwest Indiana with my baby in a stroller and my toddler walking around with us. It was awesome.

    Now I mostly just vote and get really upset a lot.

      I get where you’re coming from stranger, you may well be right. What I’m going off of is I hear there is buzz among top Democrats to try to change him out. I could easily be wrong but I hope not. I hope that’s also part of the reason the first debate was held so early.

      “Now I mostly just vote and get really upset a lot.”

      I feel that lol. Same here
