    Need name recognition, with the younger crowd I can only think of Sanders and AOC (too young) but neither have that with the older groups

      I love both of them, but Sanders is too old. He may be sharper than Biden, but he’s a year older; we can’t ask Biden to step down because of his age and then replace him with someone older. AOC would be my choice for President, but I’m willing to bet too much of middle America thinks she’s a communist or Antifa or some stupid bullshit to vote for her.

      At this point, it would be safest to just replace him with some middle-of-the-road centrist and hope for the best. Newsom would probably be fine, and even Kamala Harris’ polling numbers are looking halfway viable now. But Biden is done, they need to accept that and move on.
