        Great, that sounds like a winning plan. “We’ll just find someone”. Definitely will be stronger against Trump that way.

            Meanwhile with no alternative from the dnc your efforts only serve to support trump. Your progressive paradise will never be realized. It’s been stated to death but stop letting perfect stand in the way of good.

            That would be the FIRST step in the process, not the second. You get a parachute first, THEN jump out of the plane. Not the other way around.

        Well, go find a candidate. Then we can take the option seriously. Till then, you’re just shouting without helping.

          Any participation in the discussion helps. Otherwise we stagnate with 80 year old leadership and end up here again in 4 years.

            It wouldn’t surprise me if there isn’t an election in 2028 if Trump wins.

              Which is why it is so essential we get it right. And the fact there’s even discussion about it means Biden’s the wrong guy for the job.

                There is noone who can unambiguously win. Most voters are fascists. Thats the reality the dnc must politic around

                  Most voters are fascists.

                  They aren’t! Left leaning voters are a majority, the problem is we’re suffering under a biased electoral system and a lot of them have lost faith in the potential for government to actually do things for them so many don’t turn out. Issue polling is usually even further left. Stir them up and give them hope for the future rather than just saying “what are you gonna do, he’s worse” as they jettison another ideal to chase the center. It’s a huge problem that right now we’re not up 3-4%, because we need to overshoot to manage the EC bias, and that’s not because the country has gained a lot of fascists, it’s because he’s lost a lot of black, Hispanic, Muslim, and youth votes.

        The undecided voters who need to be won are suburban boomers who like Israel. Sorry, we live in hell, thats how it is

          You don’t think some Muslim voters in Michigan are “undecided”? This naïve idea that politics is a 2D line and the only gettable votes are in the middle is a plague on modern politics.

            I think they’re severely outnumbered by said boomers, and just as fucked as my trans ass in the event of a republican win
