    If the Democrats were wise they would choose the next candidate now in order to get the party going in a specific direction

    As though they haven’t already chosen both the person and the direction. It’s newsom and rightward, respectively.

      I’m talking about officially doing their primary right now. Look at how it works in a parliamentary system, if a party loses its leader there’s an official interim leader taking their place until a new one is selected and that leader/interim leader is officially the one choosing in what direction the party is going. The party doesn’t spend 3 years leaderless leaving the other elected officials do whatever they want.

        Yeah, they’re not gonna do that. Not in public, at least.
