I think this is the only way to win, but I have very little hope that it will happen. People need a ticket that projects hope for a better future, not one that promises to maintain the status quo. If people were happy with the status quo, Trump would not be a factor. Yet, time and again, it’s all the Democrats are willing to offer.
All 2 times this happened before? If that’s the best argument you have for running a candidate that is clearly too old both for campaigning and for the presidency, I think I would take my chances for a third try.
For the millionth time: every time they’ve done it before, they lost in a landslide. NOT stepping aside is the marginally better play.
And as a voter more on the DNC side of the floor, after the news today I weep for the next 40 years in America.
The best play is to roll the die on a real progressive but there’s no data to back it up because there is no time to test it.
