Can you win by losing or conceding an election? Yes.
At the moment, a growing number of people in politics — including many from the left — believe that both the Biden/Harris White House and the Democratic Party are damaged brands. Granted, in politics the negative can often be flipped back to the positive in a matter of weeks or months.
That said, people are expressing legitimate concerns about President Biden’s cognitive health; the continuing staff exits from Vice President Kamala Harris’s team, combined with stories of dysfunction in her office; ongoing fallout from the pandemic and the policies associated with it; escalating inflation; punishing fuel costs; supply shortages; rising crime in major cities; serious security and immigration issues at our southern border; the seeming dismissal of parental rights with the regard to the education of children; and a Democratic Party held hostage by the “woke” fringe of its base. All this would seem to indicate that such a turnaround for the current occupants of the White House is unlikely.
What is the Democratic Party to do? Here are three options.

1. Do nothing and ride the status-quo donkey into the 2024 election. In this case, if one assumes that Biden may not be up to seeking a second term when he is then 83, Harris would be the party’s standard-bearer.​

2. Mount a primary challenge to the Biden/Harris team. In this case, one believes their brand is so toxic that the only possible way to retain the White House in 2024 would be to cast both aside in favor of a charismatic, competent challenger.​

3. Retain Harris as the “sacrificial lamb” and quietly work to identify candidates for a 2028 ticket and shape an agreement on the voice of the party going forward.​

At least for some, the party’s major dilemma seems to be its remaining hostage to the far-left fringe whose progressive ideas don’t match those of most moderate Americans. The Democrats need to create and champion a platform that speaks to the tens of millions of working-class voters who feel overwhelmed by events and bad policies beyond their control.

Can the Democratic Party decouple itself from the miniscule progressive fringe in its ranks to reinvent itself once again as the “Party of the People”? Sinking poll numbers and rising problems would indicate it’s worth a try — and 2028 would be the best time to showcase a new and improved Democratic Party.

Commentary:
This is the age-old misconception that the next time it will work when we know that it has worked before,
Hmm.., Why concede when you’re counting the votes?

​

No, The Dems simply need to give the middle finger to the socialists and anarchists who have stolen the party. In fact which ever mainstream party decides to embrace rational and moderate ideas without vilifying the other half of the country will win elections for the next 20+ years. If the Dems do not jettison the anarchists, socialists and groups like the squad, then they deserve to be the toast they will become.

If things continue to go downhill as they are today the Democratic Party will be on the verge of extinction in 2024. It will take at least 12 years for the Dems to make a comeback If they ever do.

The Republican Party nominates Rino's all of the time.

It depends who the big money backs. Typically they supported globalists.
But now since China is becoming beligerant and their "belts and roads" programs are succeeding maybe the big money boys see the future a bit clearer. If the GOP doesn't nominate an America First Populist they'll lose.
