Enlightened Despotist in Name Only: Right now we have to ask what gives us the best odds of winning in November. If Biden wins and resigns at some point in the next 4 years, that’s fine.

Not that anyone is asking me, but I have no idea what the Democrats should do right now. All the options seem bad, and there isn’t one that seems less bad than the others. And as a professional opinion-haver, it’s disorienting to have no strong opinion about something so enormously consequential.

“Get united and work as a team” is the ultimate answer, obviously, though the question is how. I think they have Biden do his ABC news thing on Friday and if it goes well they get behind him and roll with him. But keep getting him out there, interviews and townhalls.

If the ABC news thing on Friday goes well then President Biden will be good for the next four-and-a-half years, right? Right?

Not necessarily!! But good enough to finish the campaign. I’m not very interested in seeing what four more years of trump would be like.

Presidents are like pets. They're not just for Christmas, they're for life. Or four more years, if we're being optimistic .

Your pragmatism does you credit.
