    While I disagree, I both respect and envy your optimism. I’m feeling defeatist today. Maybe tomorrow I’ll share your view but today I’m going to drink and brood.

      If it’s any consolation, Congresscritters coming out against the presumptive nominee WHO IS ALSO THE INCUMBENT sort of thing is fucking unheard of. That this is happening in public is very much indicative of heavy fucking gears moving behind the curtains. Whether that will be enough remains to be seen.

        It’s way too close to the election now to switch candidates and have any hope of winning. Most people don’t follow the news as closely as us. It takes at least a year of pushing a new candidate into the limelight to make them viable in an election.

        I say make Bernie the VP, let Biden win and then he can resign and let us get a President who can change some things.

          I love Bernie, but putting someone who is OLDER than Biden on the ticket is not a winning scenario. We had our chance in 2020.

          If Biden won and then immediately resigned the public would lose all trust in the DNC for decades. People do not like bait and switch.
