I honestly don’t know what to think at this point; just putting this out there.

    As to who that person should be, I’m not really sure

    This right here is the crux of how the dems fucked up so, so badly. Why they went into this election season without even attempting to run anybody aside from Biden I’ll never know. All that it’s reaped is all us know of not knowing anybody else and the federal party managers seem to be just as clueless (generally clueless, yes, but especially and specifically clueless here)

      They learned the wrong lesson from 2016 and Bernie/Hillary. They knew the candidate they wanted, and didn’t even need to maintain the pretense of democracy, so just ran effectively one candidate, failing to consider that the more popular candidate than Hillary was more popular for a reason, and so in this cycle any other candidate would have looked amazing next to Biden, who again they already knew they wanted to run.

      When has either party ever run a credible candidate against their own incumbent?
