    It was literally like the first really cold day after the first decent snow storm this winter in New England, and it’s a weekday. I wouldn’t have gone even if I knew who the hell he is.

    The primary candidate has already been chosen for the Democrats. Biden is probably the only candidate that stands a chance against Trump which is pretty fucking sad.

      He’s the only one who stands a chance because he’s effectively demanding the nomination (not an unusual stance from the party’s incumbent). Any prominent Democrat could beat Trump, and probably more reliably than Biden given the polling and his unfavorables, but no one of stature will challenge Biden and risk splitting the party. Biden is not our best chance, but he’s the only chance we’re going to get.

      Democrats really need better candidates. Andy Beshear hopefully takes the reins in 2028

      First of all, I love that name and am sad he didn’t finish the third one.

      Second of all, Biden only wins if we give up on running someone better.

      If the democrats run Biden and lose, we deserve what we get for settling for half measures

        Biden only wins if we get off our asses and Vote which is not helped by infighting over a futile attempt to unset the incumbent.

          It might sound like conspiracy theory, but the Democratic incumbent is already rigged as the candidate unless something happens to Biden.

            rigged is a stupid choice to describe “not stupid enough to throw away the incumbent advantage”

        I didn’t know there was a third in the works. Source? More interestingly, was there a title?
