I didn't really see them trying to run someone else. I mean they would of Biden decided he was done with all the bullshit but seems like he isn't.

Who would it even be? Bernie yet may, and has a lot of influence, but isn't going to stand a chance against a Biden reelection. Buttigieg and Harris are already in the admin. Yang is discredited pretty thoroughly at this point. Warren is at such a high level in the party that she'd be committing long-term career suicide by rebelling like that, and would likely worsen the outcomes for her causes in doing so. AOC is actually too young to run even if she wanted to make that big a stink. Who'd it even be?

I'm not criticizing the lack of competition here. Biden's running, the dems are going to go behind him. They know how terrible the consequences of not showing unity could be. It's going to be Biden, and sane people better hope he wins.

I don't know maybe Harris is going for that 2+ term loophole.

If we say for min that Biden wins the national Spanish lottery and decided to retire they'd probably just end up run Harris. I'm pretty sure that's how we ended up with Biden as the nom. There would be an actual primary at that point though so maybe someone else would end up with the nom. Maybe Hillary and Trump can have a rematch.
