    It’s ridiculous. Shit, I’d vote for a literal and figurative vegetable over Trump, but damn Biden failed miserably last night. Anyone who thinks anything different is simply delusional.

    I do agree the DNC should be exploring an alternate candidate, as they should be very, very fucking concerned about President Biden’s ability to perform the most basic functions of his job. I don’t know who the answer is - my personal preference remains Bernie and I think he would be an easy sell - but they must take his performance really fucking seriously. He must take his performance really fucking seriously. Russia and China both are.

      Well said. I wish Bernie was 20 years younger and I’d agree on that as well. Personally, at this point, I just think they need to be young-ish, and half-ways charismatic and they’d ride off the viral media energy of being a fresh face in what is an American idol popularity contest. Whitmer at this point would be my preference.

      This is such a huge opportunity for Democrats to take back the narrative and steal all the energy in the room.
