Absolutely and I wonder if he would have received the nomination in 2020 if he hadn't been able to hide in his basement and had had to actually travel around campaigning.

I'm not so sure we can say that we have a democracy at this point. Not after the Brooks Brothers Riot of '00 and the numerous elections since where bad candidate after bad candidate after bad candidate was forced on the people. Voters haven't had so little say in what goes on in decades, if ever.

If Kamala had any value as a VP she'd already have exercised the 25th amendment at least a year ago and probably further ago than that.

What gets me is that if the DNC hadn't forced Biden on the voters, Bernie may have won the primary and we wouldn't be in this mess right now. If Biden had actually done things like give everybody health care during the pandemic and fought for hazard pay for essential workers, he might have more support than Trump. Trump for all this flaws did a lot more in terms of checks than Biden did.

@troutman-sw9qc Voting blue all the way is what got us into this mess. The DNC keeps rigging primaries in favor of candidates that nobody wants and once in office they take a hard shift to the right. There is absolutely no pressure on the GOP to try to pursue left wing voters because the Democrats keep pursuing the right wing ones and there aren't let enough lefties to challenge either parties for the Presidency.

The thing is that at this point, even if he does bow out, I'm not sure how the DNC is going to be able to locate and run anybody in his place. They knew 4 years ago that he was slipping, they had to have been aware last year that he wasn't going to be with it enough to continue, they chose to hope he would get reelected and then die in office for the VP to take over.

I think the big issue is that everybody knows that Biden can't win, and certainly can't do the job if he does win. The problem though is that the party leadership has done a crappy job of promoting younger politicians and there really aren't any other options that could win. I think Bernie might be able to win this election, but that's a long shot, and then they'd be in the position in 4 years of needing a new candidate as Bernie definitely can't handle more than that, even 1 term is asking a lot at his age.

That's what I'm wondering. This continued insistence on cramming bad candidates down my throat is a large part of why I don't vote for Democrats. I won't vote Republican either because they keep running bad candidates where I live.
