    If you’re going to do the thing with replacing Biden as the candidate, you couldn’t get better than AOC, who will be 35 before November.

    I personally think replacing Biden this late is a bad move even though I already think Biden sucks. But I grit my teeth and voted for the fucker just like I did with Clinton, because the alternative is literally insanity and fascism. I just don’t realsitically seeing the party coalesce around anyone new at the last minute. Organizing Democrats is like herding cats, being a big tent party sucks noodles.

      Just keep repeating, Biden may not be the best, but his administration has been fantastic!

      In comparison to the other party… Not just Biden you are voting for the administration. Supreme court justices Which affect everyday life!

        Exactly this. So the party doesn’t do what I would personally prefer. I still prefer whatever the fuck they’re doing over outright fascism.

          This is when “meets expectations” looks great after so much bad behavior. It’s ok to appreciate something good.

        She’s more ready than Trump is who was already “president.”

        That said, I would rather her be in Congress longer because she can be a voice longer. After 8 years of being president if elected, she wouldn’t then want to become a senator or whatever. That would pretty much be it for her in politics outside of ex-president things… and she’d only be 43.

        I’m also sure Kamala would be pissed if AOC were to get the nom instead of her. Not that that matters.
