Yeah, that tracks.

Though I would like to give said buddies of yours a little dressing down, in the name of all that is good in the Republic.

I would tell them "Stop giving me reasons why you CAN'T do these things. Give me reasons you CAN. I don't want to hear another word until you've figured out some way, somewhere, somehow. Find a path. Go."

My academic advisor has given me exactly that hard advice, time to time. I think Dems writ large could use it right now.

I mean I hear you but I just don’t think it works.

I mean look at our society. Shit I even wonder what the hell could work now because you got a good president who is empathetic, pleasant, and old. The other side is running a serial rapist, a liar, a seditionist, tells you he wants and will be a dictator, etc. and half of fucking America is like “I’ll take option 2!!! Give me more of that!”

That’s why I found the discussion about “should Biden run” so infuriating. I mean sure maybe we could find the “perfect” candidate (and let’s be real we don’t have one of those). I mean you may get a bump of a point or two. Like you could run Jesus and it would be close. So frustrating.
