This is a good point. Biden has no successor. There is no charismatic and widely liked Democrat being groomed for power. All they've got a Kopmala, who can't speak in public without saying something bizarre and laughing at a strategically devastating moment, and rat boy, who is mostly known for his skills in racism and killing dogs.
Obama disbanding his troops then letting the entire state level Dem apparatus starve without support looks so much bigger in retrospect.
from the perspective of the party's long-term interest, they have AOC but they're too right wing to get behind her and save capitalism. What they should have but don't is someone exactly like AOC (but more openly neolib) with 5 or 10 more years experience to do another 2008 obama.
the closest thing to anyone reasonable is probably governor whitmer and i only say that because i don't know how old she is.
