    That is kinda fair.

    I am totally dismissing both Cornell West* (thanks for the correction) and Robert Kennedy Jr because of their third party runs in this environment, and anyone else wanting to challenge Biden would need to make a very solid case that they are a better pick.

    It’s worth saying I wanted Bernie. I don’t think even trying to pivot to him would be a good idea.

      I don’t think this is who you meant. Cornell West maybe?

      I think we’re stuck with Biden. We’d be in a better place if he’d had some humility and announced he wasn’t going to run again so we could have a primary with worthy candidates in it, but he didn’t, so here we are.

        Yeah, him, and thanks for the correction. It’s late, I’m tired and obviously cranky.

        Also agreed, but he would have needed to say that four years ago and honestly, that move to have everyone else step aside back then so Biden could get the nomination destroyed the credibility of every one of those younger candidates.
