I'm not sure that's true. It would just take the democrats to run an intelligent, middle of the road, non senile candidate.

- AlecSchueler 1y agoSo was Harris unintelligent, extreme or senile? Why can the Republicans run a candidate who is evidently dumb, extremist and senile all at the same time, but the Democratic alternative has to be perfect?
- ethbr1 1y agoThere's a lot of distance between Harris and Biden as candidates and "perfect" They were both shitty candidates, and the Democratic party needs to be honest about that and what allowed them to be run.
- tim333 1y agoHarris to me seemed not very impressive to be president. Not dumb compared to the average person but not great for the top job. Also her voting record I think was the most far left in the senate.
- shadowgovt 1y agoIt's a reasonable question. It seems like those who don't support Trump don't quite get yet that if they don't actually want him to be President, they have to show up to vote. The turnout just didn't happen. Too many people are fine with it.
- thrance 1y agoThere's no "middle of the road" between neoliberals and outright fascists. The democrats need to shed their (literal) old skin and become a real left-wing party, with aggressive anti-corporate messaging.
- const_cast 1y agoYou're delusional if you think the reason Trump has support is somehow because of Biden. He has support because he's a populist leader that's going to tell you the country is failing and we need to burn it all down and, of course, it's brown people's fault. And that type of populist messaging really resonates with stupid, poor white people. Which is a growing fraction of the US as people get poorer overall.
