Unless death or physical incapacity steps in, we're stuck with Biden vs. Trump.

No way the Bernie wing and the Klobuchar (or Manchin) wing agree on a replacement. If somehow they did, it would likely be a vanilla milquetoast sycophant that no one will bother getting off their asses to vote for. And it would fracture the Democratic Party, probably permanently. Best to hold our nose and hope to survive to 2028.

The Dems haven't nominated any of my first (second or third ) choices since 1972. But I enthusiastically voted for them in November every election since except 2000, when, as a Texas resident, voting for Gore was an exercise in futility.
