    no intention of organizing a party or candidate

    What do you want me to do? Vote third party in the Presidential election? Won’t I be wasting my vote?

    let alone even vote.

    Run a popular platform then. Clinton and Harris were status quo candidates. Clinton was a continuation of Obama. Harris was a continuation of Biden. They lost because they didn’t run a good campaign. They lost because they didn’t change tactics to address Trump.

      Biden was one of the best presidents since Jimmy Carter though I’d love to have his policies continued.

      Better than seeing Americans being shot in the face by ICE.

        Biden deliberately appointed a Republican AG who let Trump walk, and thereby brought about the destruction of the country. That, by itself, is immediately disqualifying for being a good president, regardless of whatever else he did.

        He’s going to be remembered on par with James Buchanan, at best.

          The American voters decided that Trump should be president again by a landslide and you think they’d be able to get a jury to find him guilty?

        Honestly, Biden did a very good job picking up the pieces after Trump. But ultimately he was returning to a status quo that didn’t (couldn’t?) address the problems with late stage capitalism. I don’t blame Biden, I blame that lack of choice in our Democracy.

              Even if Trump was convicted and imprisoned he still would have been able to run for president and get out of jail for his term.

              America watched what he did and didn’t care.

                There were things he did which could have disqualified him from office, which also weren’t investigated, and still doesn’t absolve slow walking everything.

                America watched what he did and didn’t care.

                No shit considering the education level of the country, number that flat out don’t know what he did because of the propaganda networks in the country, and the dems campaign strategy of ignore everything bad, that’s not happening
