re: They are sticking with Biden because they are rigging the 2024 election.

They aren’t replacing him. I thought they would but they clearly arent. They wouldn’t be scheduling debates early if they were going to replace him.


Their play is to punt on 24.

Make don and republicans own the economy and inflation and come back in 28 with someone like Gavin.

It’s like Bob Dole. They let the old guy his last ride in the sun while the party as a whole is on a strategic retreat.

This is the correct answer IMO.

Honestly, I don't think the Democrats confidently expected to win in 2020. I think they hoped for a win and they did everything they could to try to win (including some cheating, although I think the "massive cheating" narrative is ridiculous), but I think they were a little surprised that Biden won.

I think they had that strategic retreat scheduled for last time around and had to pivot when Biden actually won. And what I think they pivoted to is having him advance an agenda that is so radical that nobody else would advance it in a first term b/c it virtually guarantees defeat in the re-election.

I think they figured he wouldn't make it through a second term anyway, so forget trying to win one.
