Betteridge's Law?
As the challenges facing the nation mount and fatigued base voters show low enthusiasm, Democrats in union meetings, the back rooms of Capitol Hill and party gatherings from coast to coast are quietly worrying about Mr. Biden’s leadership, his age and his capability to take the fight to former President Donald J. Trump a second time.
Interviews with nearly 50 Democratic officials, from county leaders to members of Congress, as well as with disappointed voters who backed Mr. Biden in 2020, reveal a party alarmed about Republicans’ rising strength and extraordinarily pessimistic about an immediate path forward.
“To say our country was on the right track would flagrantly depart from reality,” said Steve Simeonidis, a Democratic National Committee member from Miami. Mr. Biden, he said, “should announce his intent not to seek re-election in ’24 right after the midterms.”
. . .
Still, public polling shows that Mr. Biden is at a low point in his popularity among Democratic voters. A survey last month from The Associated Press found Mr. Biden’s approval among his fellow party members at 73 percent — the lowest point in his presidency, and nine points lower than at any point in 2021. There is little recent public polling asking if Democrats want Mr. Biden to seek a second term, but in January just 48 percent of Democrats wanted him to run again, according to The A.P.’s polling.
Democrats and regret, name a better pair:
Elizabeth Guzmán, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, said Democrats in her caucus regret not passing a sweeping abortion rights law last year before they lost control of the state House and governor’s mansion to Republicans. “We wanted to codify Roe vs. Wade, and look what happened,” she said.
She conveniently forgets that they didn't pass the law because their caucus went on vacation.
Shelia Huggins, a lawyer from Durham, N.C., who is a member of the Democratic National Committee, put it more bluntly. “Democrats need fresh, bold leadership for the 2024 presidential race,” she said. “That can’t be Biden.”
They're going to go with Hillary again.
Dianne Feinstein would be a bold choice, and she's fresh because she's never run for national office. Staffers will flock to her campaign because they'll have unprecedented power. Win/win/win.

It’s gonna be Buttigieg or Bloomberg

God that's frightening. At least Biden is incompetent and has dementia. If Bloomberg takes over the party American politics will turn in to a duel over which party can build the most oppressive police state. Not that it isn't already, but with Bloomberg it would go to a new level.
Kinda hope it is, and kinda hope she wins (not voting for her lol) I wanna see the mental gymnastics libs come up with when they finally get Her in office and things continue to suck and nothing changes, except for the worse. Of course they'll blame the gop and Manchin and what not, but at some point it has to break, the excuses I mean. Where will they go, what will they do? They'll finally have what they want and get nothing but a spotlight and one night of vibes. They'll keep pointing fingers, but when they founder maybe the left will get a little breathing room by way of the dems being completely delegitimized. I mean it's that or DeSantis, right? Choose your hellworld.

I don't think it does. Religious people still believe in their doctrine in the face of all evidence and reason, over the course of thousands of years. They invent endless justifications for ignoring or refusing objective reality. There's no clear point that will cause Libs to break out of their ideology. Every time something challenges their worldview they effortlessly find a way to fit events in to their worldview. Hillary eats shit and it's Bernie's fault. Biden cheats badly and immediately becomes the most electable candidate. The Democrats can't pass any legislation and it's all Manchin's fault. And moreover the President and the Party are totally powerless to influence or coerce Manchin. They'll just keep doing this forever.
