Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

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.
