If President Joe Biden decides to withdraw from the election, Democrats need not fear — they have a ticket in front of them that can still defeat presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Aoc can’t run until next election, Michelle Obama has zero interest in being president (didn’t even want to be first lady), Elizabeth Warren isn’t much younger than trump and Biden (and a lot of moderates still won’t vote for a woman, see: Hillary Clinton), and Jill Stein is just as old too and part of the green party which isn’t going to even have a chance at winning a presidential election until there is no climate left to change unfortunately
Point of fact: she can run as long as she’s old enough to take office before inauguration day, which she will be. But party leadership would rather nominate Trump to run against Trump than nominate a progressive.

Absolutely. I honestly think they would rather just not run a candidate (or pick somebody they know will lose and give them no money) than have an actual progressive win.
There’s a lot of establishment there. And a lot of desire to keep pounding the same stupid drums of social justice and abortion and gun control rather than deal with real problems like the bottom 99.9% getting fucked over by the top 0.1%, or the effective state of regulatory capture in many industries.
There is a divide and conquer strategy being used against the American people and it is working. We are at each other’s throats over wedge issues that, while important and worthy of discussion, are not even close to the biggest problems facing our nation.
We now have two generations that gave up on having kids because wages are stagnant and housing prices are insane and rather than discuss the breakdown of the overall social contract and loss of upward mobility, we are at each other’s throats over whether we should ban this gun or that gun or which bathroom we should be allowed to use.
It’s the modern-day version of the Arena in Rome- The population is distracted by gladiators while the nation is being run into the ground.
Yeah there is zero chance for Hillary. She lost to Trump the first time, what would make anybody think she could beat him again?
Besides even the left doesn’t like her much.
And the way she ran her campaign against Trump suggests she should be managing a hot dog cart not a country.
