In any case, assuming Biden wins this cycle I think a Republican is infinitely more likely to win 2024 than Kamala, even if Joe dies or is somehow forced to do the right thing and not run for reelection. Her national appeal is just not there, she has little-to-no charisma (for a politician), and she doesn't seem capable of effectively managing a campaign.

if Biden wins he going to be the oldest president at the start of his term at 77, I can't imagine what an 81 yr old Biden is going to be like for his second term, hell Reagan was 69 for his first

I doubt they'd have the luxury of hiding him under a desk for weeks at a time as president so I think he'd degrade much faster than he is now. I guess it's possible he somehow manages to bumble along for a few years but I just don't see him finishing a term, let alone two. kamala is an unlikable jackass who would be insanely and brutally destroyed by basically any republican in 2024. she brings literally nothing to the table other than a few shallow idpol signifiers

the main lesson to take away from josh collins is that socialists and workers need an independent working class party with a genuine democratic structure where the candidates and campaigns which are run are decided on democratically by the membership. and that would extend to where and when the campaigns would be run, and the actual nature of how they are run. not just determined by individuals making individual decisions to run. theres also been some examples where the labor/left vote has been split in primaries or general election like in seattle with shaun scott last year or minneapolis with ginger jentzen a few years back

shahid and josh are loving scams. morse is a sexmonster. markey is going to get bodied by an incest baby. let's phone bank for jess: Tonight, 63.1% of people we spoke to supported Jess on the phone. Only 5% supported Chris. Unfortunately, three had already voted for Chris.... but eight had already voted for Jess! We can win this if we keep up voter contact. Please phone bank tomorrow with us, and get Jess elected. It's worth it, if only because the Ashley Feinberg article detailing that time C-SPAM elected a Senator will be insane.
