    He only got the job because democratic party leadership decided to coalesce around him in 2020.

        There were lots of good choices in 2020. Sanders was probably the most well-liked and respected, but there was Buttigieg who came out with the very first set of delegates in Indiana. Honestly, I thought Biden was the second worst candidate running for President during the primary, about a million miles ahead of fucking Bloomberg, but just when it looked like it was over for Joe, a miracle saved his entire campaign and rocketed him into the nomination.

        We need another miracle like that. Without it, I don’t see a path to winning again. The fence-sitters are going to plunge us back into a second Trump term and an inevitable fascist dictatorship.
