Dems, you're a mess right now. Get it together. The stakes are too high. Too high for bickering. Too high for factionalism. Too high for "settling" for a candidate. Too high not to demand a candidate who can unify the whole party, mobilize it, win in November and lead for 8 yrs.
Note: This is not directed at the left (though some of your supporters have become toxic) nor at the centrists (though some of your "the left will destroy the party" stuff is also poisonous and wrong." Everyone is doing it and it needs to stop.
In my view, a better answer for the party is not an adherent to one camp or the other who will argue the other camp has no choice but to go along but someone who can mobilize and speak to both groups, inspire them and lead the tough fight that is coming in the Fall.
But that's not enough either. That candidate has to be able to win in November & then lead after, to have a vision for the country, a commitment to holding Trump & the GOP accountable, no illusions about working with a scorched earth, twisted GOP and the energy to lead thru 2024.
This person will have to reinvent the Democratic Party for a new era, new challenges, to compete with an ever more extreme, reckless, dangerous opponent, and an understanding that the compromises of the past contributed to the crisis we are in now.
