The Democratic Party’s propping up an obviously declining Joe Biden is one of the greatest political disasters in American history.

It turns out, “Well the other guy is worse,” is not a winning strategy. (See also 2016)

If only the DNC cared enough to champion popular progressive platitudes instead of kneecapping them. (See “Don’t ~~promise~~ say anything stupid, Tim Walz)

The DNC is complacent with trump because his actions will not negatively impact their lifestyles

The problem (for Democrats) in running on popular progressive platitudes is that some of them might prove so popular that they'd be forced to implement them.

And the rich people who control the Democratic party don't want progressive policies
