Seems to me that access to young bodies is a huge motivation for men to work to get power in the first place.

Coincidentally, today my media algorithm led me to the 2023 movie Paint about Owen Wilson accepting being replaced by Ciara Renée.

That argument doesn't convince me because I'm not willing to reject a qualified candidate because of her gender or race. I can't help what Trumpers like or don't like. Plenty of voters don't vote because of a lack of excitement/cynicism about democracy. I want to avoid that.

I'm not suggesting an open convention. Rather a Binden-led handing of the torch. I think it is likely there will be protesters and dissent if Biden remains the nominee anyway.

The same goes for Biden for a lot of people who voted for him last time and who are being asked to vote for him again.

I can see the convention honoring President Biden's contributions, announcing a new VP and charting a positive course forward. Otherwise won't we all be just watching to see if he has more senior moments (or not watching out of dread)?

538 has her with a less unfavorable rating than Biden. If the pitch is less bad than Trump seems that qualifies her.

I'm blue no matter who. But it seems VP Harris is the obvious choice.

We don't have to look that far back to see an analogy to today. The Democrats' strategy of ignoring progress and hoping the voters would ignore dissatisfaction with their candidate and just look at Trump's flaws was a losing one in 2016.
