Put simply, the Democrats are stuck in an ideological civil war between the far left of the party (The Squad) and the centrists (like Kamala Harris). They want to get this sorted out and find which is the winning side and go for a 2024 win.
I think there is a chance they will go further to the left and nominate AOC for for the candidacy. First woman president, Latino, can win a lot of votes with the diverse America crowd and has the energy for it. They want another Obama moment and AOC is it.
I think this falls into the wishful-thinking category. If the Dems fail to win this round, then the next will be headed by a fire-breathing left by default. Though that's fine by me, it's definitely not OK with the monied neoliberal faction. But if they lose two in a row to the same brainless narcissist, they're done …. and they know it.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
