I think this is the only way to win, but I have very little hope that it will happen. People need a ticket that projects hope for a better future, not one that promises to maintain the status quo. If people were happy with the status quo, Trump would not be a factor. Yet, time and again, it’s all the Democrats are willing to offer.
All 2 times this happened before? If that’s the best argument you have for running a candidate that is clearly too old both for campaigning and for the presidency, I think I would take my chances for a third try.
He’ll be remembered fondly if he doesn’t fuck up this election (i.e. not stepping aside).
For the millionth time: every time they’ve done it before, they lost in a landslide. NOT stepping aside is the marginally better play.
The best play is to roll the die on a real progressive but there’s no data to back it up because there is no time to test it.

But what if he doesn’t step aside and wins reelection?
Yeah that’d work too. But it won’t happen.
Pack it up bois, newnewaccount called it. We are done here.
Instead of pissing about how it won’t happen go do something else why don’t you do something else. Your usefulness here. Now. Has run its course.
