And all that’s needed is Biden to fall ill with no credible back up available. It could be that simple.
I don’t think there’s even a realistic situation where a Dem sits in the White House in 2025 if Biden drops dead or something. Harris has all the personality of sandpaper and is about as popular, and there are absolutely no Democrats coming up the pike that would be able to get enough support and survive the Trump Hate Machine. MAYBE Sanders or Warren, but that’s a hell of a long shot. Plus, she herself is 74. Sanders is 82. Which means even they would end up having to overcome similar baggage: They’d be perceived as simply too old, and it would quickly devolve into “Look what happened to Biden. Why would we want to vote for another Democrat who’s just as old and probably living on borrowed time themselves?”
Make no mistake: If anything happens to Biden, Trump is President in 2025. And if Trump himself drops dead or is disqualified, it’ll be another member of the GOP. I do not see a realistic scenario where Democrats retain if Biden dies.
Can’t be Sanders: the centrist and corporate Democrats won’t allow that. Plus, he’s a party outsider. As the dems just showed with Laphonza Butler’s appointment, being tight with the party machine matters more than any other qualification. Even living in the state you’re supposed to represent.
Can’t be Warren: the GOP has a hate machine on standby for “Pocahontas” if she were to ever be in the national spotlight again. Plus, corporate Democrats won’t allow her due to her work creating the CFPB. She interferes with too much profit.

I am not enjoying a lot of what I see. I hope, however, people understand what’s at stake - or that they will.

You’re absolutely right.
