    No candidate would have mattered once Biden stayed in as long as he did.

      Probably.

      I always believe that a candidate of the genuine left, pushing things most people want and need — universal health care, breaking up giant corporations, enthusiastic tax increases for billionaires, complete medical and student debt forgiveness, patching the pathetic safety net that barely exists for the unemployed, the sick, the disabled, etc— would win by two touchdowns. But I don’t know who that candidate would’ve been in 2024, and the question is moot because Democrats would never nominate a leftist.
