    • Step 1: get somebody who can win the election against Trump.
    • Step 2: win the election.

    The Democrats are having a shockingly hard time doing step 1, but that needs to happen before we can do step 2. Unfortunately there’s not much we can do about the brainwashed populus until Trump is firmly out of power for an extended period, which hinges on step 1.

      Genuine question… What’s wrong with the vice president? Shouldn’t she take over given she’s next in line? Apologies in advance, I’m not American so I don’t understand why your country does things.

        She was set up to increase her visibility, position her as a next candidate, but does not seem to have benefited from the opportunity

        I’m going to assume this is a good faith question. What’s wrong with Harris is that she is essentially polling the exact same as Biden despite not being blamed for inflation, the Gaza invasion, the withdrawal from Afghanistan, appearing senial in a debate, not being old, etc. That is to say that despite having none of that baggage hanging over her head, she essentially has the same chances of winning as Biden.

      I know! Let’s also meet the republicans halfway. They’ll surely not use that against us repeatedly.
