As a Democrat, it all feels hopeless.

Why not? What was wrong with him? How could he be worse than Biden?

He would obviously be a much better option than Trump or Biden but silly American voters only figure this kind of thing out after the fact.

Perhaps the DNC should allow more primary choices

Perhaps Democrats shouldn't propose candidates who have condescending attitudes towards potential voters and describe them as "deplorables.".

Pretty much, yeah. Democrats really have no unifying policy or ideal that steers them well. They fundamentally disagree on LGB{T especially} rights, climate change policy, immigration, etc. The Democrats also love killing progressive candidates in local races and showing young people that the party abhors them.

Based on votes around the world right now, this is a spectacularly wrong take. Youth worldwide are voting more to the right than in years past. I expect this year to be no different in the US.

Gun control ain’t happening. The environment is fked and now will be more so with the loss of Chevron. Organized religion is fully breaking down the walls between the state and itself.

What the fk? What’s to be happy about?

The RNC and DNC need to be shut down so that we can work on reducing the influence of money politics and then we can reform two major parties under proper leadership which will lead to legitimate POTUS candidates. This is the only way to put the ineptness of the Trump/Biden era behind us.

Or we can just win in November, get a better court and get rid of Citizens United.

If we were serious about winning in November, we wouldn't have supported Biden's 2nd term ambitions in the 2024 primary. We made our beds.

Development of new candidates for president. All the dream team combinations everyone is floating now that it’s too late- why weren’t they approached or encouraged to run for president?

Because: the DNC is run by people who don’t want a new candidate to run for or win the presidency. A new president would take their power away, because they would not control them. If a new candidate wins, they are no longer in control. They want to maintain the status quo. The status quo is Biden taking commands from the people who are in charge now.

We need a low tax centrist democrat that isn’t woke on crime. Therefore, newsom is out.

It is foolish to rate anyone on ONE debate. Look at last 8 years and think about it. Media is adding oil to all of it unnecessarily. Be wise and make your decision wisely

If democrats ever want to win over working class men, this is pretty much their only route, and they need a progressive white, working class background, man.

So, working class people consists of solely white old men? Perhaps you need to get out and look at who is actually working class. The white male coal workers are a dying segment of the working class.

Any Dem not voting for Biden loses my respect. I wish be weren’t the candidate. But this is not an election between Biden and Trump. It’s about the future of the democracy. If ppl can’t see that then we’re fuxxxed anyway you shake it due to our own stupidity.

Have u ppl forgot 1/6/20? And the sh—-show that was Trumps forst presidency? We will be a laughing stock. And stuck with a wannabe fascist at the helm. This whole idea is god da—- dystopian and it’s happening for all to see. But yeah. Biden’s old. Gtfoh.

Democracy dies when you vote for a senile old man and don’t know who is really in charge of the administration behind the scenes. Give it a rest.

It’s foolish to look at that one debate and not realize that Biden isn’t fit to be president TODAY much less for the next 4.5 years.

Well, in the US young women have steered more and more the left, and men are stable. The countries you're thinking of have a right leaning male populace for different reasons...
Korea is weird, because the "left" party isn't exactly left leaning and doesn't support liberal policies like Gay Marriage. I'd learn about their political system, because the views are generally different from the West's left/right split
UK is in a mess right now and is losing the conservative party fast. The country has not done well under 14 years of Conservative rule, but the labour party is awful and putting up a bad candidate whose milquetoast at best.
Germany/Finland/the Europe you're thinking about is currently undergoing an "ethnicity" crisis. It is not the same concerns as the Republican party. Well, I guess the white nationalists may agree. But, they have an issue with immigration in terms of assimilation and inequality. The youth have "leaned right," as in they want the government to back their ethnic culture, but if you had these youths list out the policies they want, they are left of the American center.
But if you seriously think American youth are in any significant numbers moving right, I'd have you wait and see how many will be not voting this election due to a bad Democrat candidate/will vote for Biden.
