    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.
