The Democratic response to Trump's victory was, essentially, to lose its ******* mind.
This is how they end up with someone like Biden - he clearly doesn't belong in this situation, but the other candidates are a mess.
What a fucked up choice this is.
Wow... Vichy Mac has his theory, and he won't let pesky things like facts get in his way.
If the Democrats had TRULY lost their mind as a party, Commie Bernie would be the nominee right now. And he'd have just as good a chance of beating Trump. Maybe better because his followers are motivated.
Instead, they played it safe with Biden (as they should have) and went with the guy who wasn't exciting, wasn't particularly bold on policy, but could win and get things done.
