Normally though, in primary races among Democrats, if the vice president or former vice president runs, (s)he gets the nomination. So, Kamala will be tough to beat in the primary. The odds are she would win it, and then lose in the general election.

If that happens in 2024, once again the Democrats will be cut off before they can really accomplish anything, as they have been for 40 years or more, and their accomplishments will all be reversed, as they have been for 40 years or more. The rest of the 4T will be a left rebellion or secession movement that will be squelched, and then the USA will fully assume banana republic or oligarchic authoritarian status in fairly short order.

I have reasons to be optimistic, but the Democrats and the voters keep making these huge mistakes. Biden just made a whopper! What does that say about his decision-making abilities going forward? Not much that's good.

This is a year with far too many tides rising at once. Think about it. Joe Biden was dead in the water prior to the South Carolina primary and anointed as the chosen candidate of his party at its end. Yes, this year's events required a confirmation of the black community, but SC has never voted for a Democrat, yet, due to the arrival of the COVID pandemic, the SC voters got the de facto right to pick the candidate for the rest of us. That has nothing to do with T4T; the chosen one is a Silent. It merely shows how much variability there is in the political process.

Now, it has to play out. Biden, a committed centrist and neoliberal (Delaware is home to more banking and credit card companies than any other), chose another committed centrist, though probably not the neoliberal that Biden is himself. I agree that this is unhelpful, but beating Trump is a must regardless.
