I know that it's popular to dismiss President Biden. I get it. He's old. This is the first election featuring the 2 oldest candidates, ever. So what? The future of the WORLD is literally dependent on this election. To boot Biden from the ticket and try to bootstrap another candidate is madness. Booting this incumbent and hoping his VP will succeed is like firing the cook and hoping the dishwasher will give you Michelin-quality food. Stick with the old man, and figure out a way to enact his popular policies while also expanding the Supreme Court, enacting term limits and limiting "Christian" Nationalists.

Only one way to fix flawed dem candidates. Convince more people to vote for better ones. Otherwise you're basically asking them to suppress moderates that might want to run.

This is how democracy works, where voters choose candidates. But when progressives are only a fraction of the party, we need to expand the number of progressive voters in order to see results.
