I’m seeing quite a few articles demanding that either Joe Biden’s or Donald Trump’s name be withdrawn from contention for the nomination of their respective parties for president in 2024. Let’s engage in a little thought experiment. What would happen if neither Trump’s nor Biden’s name are on the ballot in 2024?
My speculations are that
- whoever succeeds them would be more extreme than either Trump or Biden, the Democratic candidate being more left wing than Biden and the Republican candidate more right wing Trump
- victory would hinge on turning out the base
- the campaign would be even more negative
Not a particularly bright prospect.
You know the saying. “Someone has to win”.
Not really quite true CO. You can just claim the election was stolen without evidence and cult will follow along. So more correctly it’s either “everyone wins” or “no one wins”.
