If Democrats do not pick someone who inspires Americans, Donald Trump is going to win.
The key word is “inspire.”
Fear of Trump is not enough. If it were Hillary Clinton would have won and Joe Biden would not have won with such a small margin. We need someone who inspires the masses.
Joe Biden is not that someone.
He kept the status quo at a time when most Americans do not like and do not want the same status quo that is not working for many.
We need someone better or Trump wins.
@Linux_Is_Best@mstdn.social This is a very complicated problem, but I think Biden can win despite being at best uninspirational.
We live in a class society. The very things that would alleviate the pains of the masses would harm the financial interests of the donors.
Republicans are advantaged in that their base cares about things (the wrong things) that can be appealed to, which do not harm corporate interested.
They don’t have to play the balancing act that the democrats do.
