    The goose is cooked. Bidens’ not going to be the nominee.

    Good thing the DNC both a) prevented any kind of a meaningful primary and b) insisted that they get to select the delegates for the convention.

    Anyways. Can Blue Maga all bow their heads now and admit they were wrong; that they’ve been wrong the whole time; and that their insistence on running this geriatric is them giving Trump the greatest opportunity to win?

      The DNC gets to pick any replacement. To them, that’s far better than rolling the dice on a progressive winning a primary.

        Exactly. And that’s fine. If any blue will do, lets do any (other) blue other than the one that CLEARLY can’t win.

        Smart voters, strategic voters right now understand the importance of “Literally any generic Democrat other than Biden” being the nominee right now.

        Biden has been drowning in the polls for 450 days. He __ dunzo __ after this.

          The problem is not any blue will do. I can see them ignorantly pushing Harris. Hell, I can see their out of touch asses trying to push H. Clinton again. Democrats are pros at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

          People have been talking about Newsom, or Booker, or even Warren. And… Well maybe, but even they don’t seem popular enough to take on Trump.

          I can think of like one person in the whole country that could unite the base, Michelle Obama. Unfortunately, she appears to have zero interest in running, and who can blame her?
