    I listed two options I think would work for me

    You also told me you’re a Republican and know nothing of the Democratic party or what its voters want…

    So let me give you some advice, for Republican candidates I want:

    1. Boots Riley

    2. Optimus Prime.

    For better or worse, you know you need me and my perspective on this matter. Lest you lose Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona and let Trump take the victory.

    No we don’t.

    Because Obama 08 didn’t need help from “moderate Dems” and he sure didn’t need help from Republicans.

    The entire problem with the modern DNC is they ignore their base and chase Republicans.

    Who will always say the DNC isn’t conservative enough.

    It creates these feedback loop where the party gets more and more conservative leaving behind more and more of its own voters.

    We can just leave you all behind, and give voters a candidate they like. A progressive candidate.

      Okay. Name the candidate.

      Except we both know you don’t have a name, and that’s why you’re going through this exercise of avoiding uncomfortable truths.

      Go get that name, start pushing that name consistently, start saying [Insert Specific Name Here] is a better choice than Biden and MAYBE you have a chance.

      But for now, you’re just giving Republicans in general a field day and a ton of joy by attacking Biden.

        I’ve never seen a better ambassador of the Republican party.

        You have truly personified the meme of a pigeon walking up to a chessboard.

          I’m an Anti-Trump Republican. I’m quite interested in seeing what yall’s plan is to fight Trump this fall, and frankly, I’m not impressed with what I’m seeing in this topic yet.

          Hopefully you all figure something out by next week. And if not next week, the week after that. But your time is short, and time is ticking.

          I’m likely voting for the Democratic candidate, whoever it is. But none of this internal Democrats’s chaos is my responsibility or my problem. I’m just here to point out that you have a large degree of my support from being anti-Trump, but I can’t go so far left as Bernie (or some other progressives you got).

          That’s really all I’m here to point out.


          In any case, figure out a name. Otherwise Democrats will lose. And figure out a name before you get rid of Biden/Kamala. You’re throwing away a decent candidate with a decent anti-Trump record for literally nobody right now.
