Yes, the Democrats mostly care about who can win. That gets them up in the morning. But let's be honest with ourselves: who hits the ground running for Biden?
"Me," you might say, if the choice is between Biden and Trump. But precisely the problem with the Clinton campaign is a lot of people felt there was no positive motivating factor in it.
Hell, at least Clinton had women coming out on principle.
I understand the thought of a tourniquet is appealing. But say Biden squeaks through. You get four years of gridlock if you're lucky, some executive orders, "summits." Then a full-fledged Tea Party of the left and Tom Cotton in '24.
This isn't opinion and it's not a threat. This will happen.
It's not to say Warren or Harris or anybody else has a better time in practice, but you keep the party together -- those are the stakes -- by giving people something to fight for.
