    Politics is a process. This is the time where the parties (all two) have to sort out their policy platform and the candidates to run on that platform.

    So it isn’t just about it being Biden, let alone Trump. The “alternative” can also include a Biden actually pivoting to a different, more popular set of policies. He could even get some mileage on the things he ran on in 2020 and has barely moved on since, like public healthcare option or a minimum wage increase.

    The bigger problem is Biden now has a 3 term track record in the White House snubbing progressive policy.

    He can’t promise anything anymore, he has to actually deliver, and he is running out of time, if he hasn’t already. (He most likely has.)
