Even if by some miracle you win (LOL, you won't) you've destroyed your party in the process and alienated a huge part of the base that you'll need going forward.

Any politician good enough to potentially raise the money/support to seriously challenge an incumbent president is a good enough politician to know its a suicide mission. The most likely outcome is a humiliating defeat.

SCOTUS just declared that the President is a God Emperor 48 hours ago, politics is plenty fucking interesting enough.

Allegedly but its one dude at lunch, no way the menu is a extensive or service as fast as before. Plus its Chicago and the only seating is outside which must suck about 9 months of the year. Kinda a dick move to your loyal customer base.

You can't force someone to run for President. Not even the mighty all powerful (LOLOL) DNC can do that.

Why do you assume he can't competently message on abortion? Or that there even needs to be a message? Abortion voters know who overturned Dobbs, they've been coming out in droves since 2022 to vote against Republicans.

Because they didn't. There was a primary. No one substantial entered. That wasn't because of the all powerful DNC (lol), it was because any politician who could conceivably challenge him is a good enough politician to know challenging the incumbent is career suicide.

Not sure who you are referring to since Hillary Clinton won 2 Congressional races, vastly improving her margins in the 2nd, and then won the race for the 2016 nomination, which is why she was the nominee. Maybe get your facts straightened out before you opine on things.

Probably the voters who voted for the gameshow host, and the voters who decided not to vote for the other candidate, and the suppression laws that prevented those who wanted to vote from doing so. Not really sure what this has to do with anything.

But she didn't say that. She said "we should talk about these kinds of issues". Not "we should just tell every voter exactly what they want to hear".

It's "morally messed up" for a politician to say "we should focus on issues that voters say they care about"? Seems a bit hyberbolic. And how exactly is she covering her ass here?

Pelosi is ONE dem. She's not even a leader anymore. There are literally tens of millions of Democrats, they are going to have different opinions on things. One soundbite from one backbencher is not the totality of Democratic campaign strategy.

Oh grow up. Trump is a felon and everyone knows it, and that information will be wildly repeated during the campaign. Unfortunately, for a non-trivial number of people, it doesn't matter. For those people, who still vote, you need to give them something else, something more tangible.

Who said anything about a "reasoned argument"? Dems won the 2020 GA runoff with the "reason argument" of "hey, vote for us and well give you big stimulus bump".
