Also, is a 76 year old white man the right person to challenge Biden and / or Trump?

YES!!!! That is exactly what we need

Tim Scott has dropped out.

It seems like Jill Stein is more of a risk to Dems than actual Democrats like Joe Manchin or Dean Phillips
Who would actually vote for those guys?

I am throwing my 🎩 in the ring…. If I can peel enough votes in Arlington I can throw Virginia to Trump.

Working on my platform

Jill Stein couldn't help Hillary, she isn't going to be able to help herself (even enough to be a spoiler).  I think I'd be concerned most about Cornell West.

How does RFK Jr play into it?

So refreshing that you just admitted it instead of trying to have an argument for five pages defending the idea that Jill Stein was trying to help Hillary like half of this rabble would do. POTW.

Crestfallen.

The Economist with its rosy predictions

The Economist’s annual “World Ahead” guide identifies Donald Trump as the biggest global danger of 2024.
“n the 38 years that we have published this guide, no single person has ever eclipsed our analysis as much as Donald Trump eclipses 2024.”

shame to lose such talent ;)

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who is mounting a long-shot Democratic primary challenge to President Biden, said Friday he won't seek reelection to the House in 2024.

i've been reading a number of articles stating that the US is heading for (if not already in) a dating/marrying/childbearing crisis due to political polarization.  specifically, left-leaning women are refusing to date right-leaning men.  example meta-article: The Washington Post is very worried that American women don't want to marry Trump supporters.

of the 3 or 4 articles on the topic i've read, the proposed solution is either unknowable or for women to compromise.  not a single one posited that these right-wing dudes could find romantic success by abandoning their support for anti-abortion policies, cuts to social spending, increased gun rights, and other regressive policies. 

incels going mainstream on the right…

well in playing the long game, this tactic will work in 20-25 years as we'll use natural selection to remove them from the population
might be a little longer as we have to wait for all the living not dateable to expire too
