If Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election, our democracy will be replaced by an authoritarian government. Joe Biden has delivered as president. But is he the best candidate to defeat Trump?
Lee, I agree strongly with your point that defeating Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election is essential. I also agree that there's a difference between being a Good President and a Good Candidate; Trump established this in 2016. However, WHO (or, WHAT) would constitute a Good Candidate? Someone significantly younger? Someone more diverse? Someone more progressive, OR more mainstream? I don't have a candidate in mind. Maybe the WWD community can make suggestions, but in the meantime, let me pose a counter-question: What would it take to make Biden a better candidate, relative to Trump? More public contact? More concrete, attractive campaign promises? New running mate? New Campaign staff? More negative publicity against Trump and Republicans? And, just to round out the questions: How do we select/support Democrat Congressional candidates?
