I can see it... The Biden/Booker ticket would have lost in '16. Hillary wouldn't have run in '20. and Trump would have been re-elected. We'd already be living in a dictatorship, with ongoing assumption that Trump would be "nominated". "run", and "win" again in '24, a la Putin-style "elections", all overseen by Trump's own SCOTUS at the top of the judicial heap, issuing decrees to appeals and other lower courts on their expectations in advance.

I am now a Democrat, since 2008 after years of being a Republican, and so I know this is self-deprecating, but Democrats are weak-kneed, hand-ringing, lily-livered weaklings when it comes to second-guessing themselves and their candidates. They could learn a lot about getting into lock-step and not screwing around at the last minute. Biden will be okay. He and his administration have been excellent; sadly he hasn't had much control over Congress, because as usual Democrats don't connect the dots and execute to elect BIG majorities of legislators in both houses.

Vote Blue anyway. It's our only hope of preserving the American Experiment for another four years. And then FIX SCOTUS and some other things first chance!

I haven’t read it, though it’s on the shelf.

What’s behind the comment, “i always have time for Bernie.”

And also, what did Bernie have to say?
