    Which is why we have two right wing parties and no left wing parties left in the US. Moves like this are how we got stuck with Trump in 2016 and almost again in 2020 and now once again in 2024.

      No party has held the white house with consecutive different nominees in a long time. Meaning to say even if Biden gets 8 years the Dems will likely lose the election after that to either Trump again or a smarter quieter fascist. Thats a trend that I dont think has been bucked since HW Bush came after Reagan. Last time we had two Dems back to back was JFK into Lyndon Johnson. It’s literally just a matter of time and how a small handful of swing states feel about current events before we’re stuck with one again.
