A younger leader would be nice, but again, WHO?
Last time Pelosi was challenged, the only guy they could come up with is pathetic moderate Tim Ryan. You can't beat somebody with nobody.
And therein lies the problem the Dems made for themselves when they embraced neoliberalism. Most of the young lions are too simply young and far too inexperienced (we don't need to go through Obama Learning Cycle 2.0). 2024 may be too soon, and Biden is definitely not running again.
You are aware that conservative icons Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were the inaugural figures in the history of Anglophone neoliberalism, right? (Even if, in the case of the United States, it was anticipated by the Kennedy-Johnson-Ford tax cuts and by Carter's deregulation.)
Indeed, Trump still governed as a neoliberal. Slapping some tariffs on China is largely irrelevant- Reagan imposed tariffs on Japan. Neoliberalism is just one stage in the historical development of capitalist social relations; Trump was little different from his neoliberal predecessors. Biden will be no different- neoliberalism is the ruling logic of the age.
