The Left can’t sit out the 2028 Democratic primary. If AOC chooses not to run for president, Eric Blanc argues that socialists should run a working-class candidate — even an unknown one — who can inject anti-billionaire politics into the race.
I agree on the general concept that, the party needs better controls, and to laude the fact that they get rid of bad leaders, rather than just that be seen as a weakness…
Biden and Platner are 2 solid examples of that where IMO the concept is a stregnth… though in biden’s case, the major mistake was not doing it from the start… IE only holding a sham primary to begin with, and him holding on until the debate where he completely shit the bed.
Platner I feel there was some major mistakes in not seeing it sooner, IMO the hint of alegations of being abusive, and the history of being in black rock should have been bigger red flags than they were to people. But the speed at which his resignation was pushed, and the party stepped in to replace him, at least bodes in the right direction
