    We’ve been playing that game for decades, but especially since 2016. This will be the third cycle in a row of “just this once because we need to beat Trump, then you can have a turn next time.”

    Meanwhile things continue to get demonstrably worse. This is not sustainable.

      No yeah you’re right let’s vote for Trump. That will fix things.

      Or maybe people in battle ground states, that would vote for Biden, should vote for s 3rd party candidate, that will totally not be exactly the same as not voting at all and by extension helping trump. /S

      The time to pick a more progressive candidate was in 2020. We lost that battle. But if Bernie had won, moderate democracts might be saying bernie should be replaced right now with someone more palpable. I would say in that situation same thing I’m saying now: don’t change the incumbent.

      The incumbent historically has had a huge advantage.
