    Good points. However, I would argue that the DNC would absolutely fuck up picking a new nominee. They would pick some “centrist” unlikeable democrat that would try to appeal to a moderate middle that just doesn’t exist. They would run a flaccid campaign and manage to piss off everybody trying to appeal to everybody. Republicans would absolutely capitalize on the chaos.

      Right

      Biden appointed Jamie Harrison, it’s very very unlikely that Jamie Harrison nominates anyone else. And if he does, it will be another moderate that names Jamie Harrison head of the DNC again.

      Because the people running the DNC care more about personal political power than stopping trump.

      Just like the problem with republicans isn’t just trump, it’s the people behind the scenes that also need addressed.

      The problem with the DNC isn’t just Biden, it’s the people Biden put in charge of the DNC.

      The party can’t survive without the voters, we’re the important part.

      If the DNC refuses to acknowledge that, it won’t be the first time voters left a party behind to die without them.

      At a certain point the corruption is bad enough we need to start over. It won’t be easy, but at a certain point it’s the only option.
