    Replacing Biden was always a good idea, and the opposition always had the argument of “Biden is unfit for the presidency yet is still being pushed by his party, therefore the Democratic party is dumb”; but now prominent Democrats have (correctly in my opinion) called for Biden to be replaced. So there’s no going back now. If they don’t, the oppisition now has an even stronger argument: “Biden is unfit for the presidency, members of his own party have called for his replacement, yet he hasn’t been replaced, therefore the Democratic party is really dumb”.

    Finding a candidate that energizes voters and creates a big turnout is hard, but not impossible, the 2020 primaries have minted several candidates and raised their profile.

    Funnily enough, AOC turns 35 this October, she’s too young by like a few months if i get this right?

        Right so i didn’t know exactly when a candidate has to be 35 (at time of nomination, election day, investiture…); if it’s investiture then an AOC candidature is technically possible, though i think we’d have heard about it by now if she had that intention

      Lol AOC would rather Trump be president than herself. Democrats don’t want to win, because when they do, everyone can see what massive genocidal hypocrites they are.
