Absent a miracle (e.g., significantly progressive legislation somehow passes and things somehow turn around in just a few months) I expect a very painful election season that the Sanders wing of the party will be blamed for.

He has no lane to run in even if Biden wakes up tomorrow and decides to retire while tens of millions of people decide that what we need next is an even older
President

I am happy that Sanders is not on this list LetMyPeopleVote Apr 2022 #9

Only because they interpret his comments to mean that he isn't in the race FBaggins Apr 2022 #17

Sanders is older than Biden and has had a heart attack. Demsrule86 Apr 2022 #31

Both were true two years ago as well FBaggins Apr 2022 #38

And Sen. Sanders lost...a second loss. We do not need a divisive primary in 24. In fact Sanders Demsrule86 Apr 2022 #42

There's no question that a "divisive primary" is bad news for the party involved FBaggins Apr 2022 #44

It is not an open question. Biden has the best chance... Demsrule86 Apr 2022 #47

If we primary a sitting president, we always always lose. There are no exceptions. Demsrule86 Apr 2022 #30

My money is on Tim Ryan jaysunb Apr 2022 #12

If he wins the Senate seat in 2022, almost zero chance he runs for POTUS in 2024. Celerity Apr 2022 #21
