The friction goes both ways. The problem is… who do you appeal to? Older Americans who are gonna die off in the next decade, or “younger” (read: everybody else) who has to live with the policies bejng made for the next several decades?
Sorry, but old boomers are dying off. The party needs to adapt and stop pretending like it’s the late eighties early nineties.
The only reason Biden was “electable” was because he was so boring as to be inoffensive- which is why he made a great choice for VP.
He was the compromise candidate that happened because Hilary already lost to trump, and Bernie is a ScArY SoCIaLiSt, and there was nobody else with the name recognition on the national level.
“Blue no matter who” can go both ways, you know. Why is it always the mantra of conservatives pretending to not be. (If you haven’t noticed corpo dems happily slid into the conservative space as republicans slid into being regressive asshats).
As much as the Israel/Palestine problem exists it’s going to draw ire from somebody. Might as well go for people who actually have a future in politics.
