So who’s the alternate here to Biden?

Easy to chuck the guy, and I think he’s well past his usefulness, but who’s next man up?

Sure as shit ain’t Kamala. Nobody in his administration save maybe Pete has any visibility whatsoever. Saw an article tossing Governor Gavin Bateman out there which gave me a good laugh.

I dunno. Unless people want another geriatric in office and throw Bernie’s ass in there.
That is the problem, the party did nothing to promote the next person. Republicans essentially are grooming DeSantis and it is working. But the democrats, nope lets throw out the old guy that half the party really doesn't like.

You can argue the Democrats haven't done shit to promote the "next person" other than Hillary Clinton since 2004. They didn't want Obama until they realized people liked him (then spent his entire presidency running away from his popularity every chance they could).

The corporate spin machine against any high profile democrat is the double edged sword here. They could get their base engaged with some of the more popular "rising stars" but those same people get the other base enraged. It's almost like the Democrats have to find some one not really on the national radar at this point. I get that it would be a smear immediately, but make them work for it. The Democrats just need to have the balls to say "AOC, Beto and Stacey Abrams are our future. Deal with it."

I personally think Adam Schiff has really shown a lot during the hearings. I could get behind him as a candidate. Not sure I want to hear 2 years of "Shifty Schiff" bullshit though. I could also support Al Franken, but that's a fucking layup for the Hypocricans.

Rempel actually makes a really good analysis of both the AB UCP and the federal conservatives here.

I guess the difference is that the AB party will still probably win, or at least has a chance. The federal party looks fuckin doomed no matter what right now.

Can someone please remind me who was House Speaker during Obama's first term when he had that sweet supermajority?
