I dunno, I think it’s working fine. If some younger, fiery leftist had wanted to primary him, I think that’d have been fine too, but just … none did. Among the couple of people that did primary him, none really stood out. Like, Dean Philips was fine, but the guy literally didn’t have a platform that wasn’t “I’m a mainstream dem that’s not Biden.”
That’s not good enough to take down an incumbent.
But otherwise, what do you want? If nobody with positions runs against him, then nobody with positions runs against him. It’s not like AOC was 10 years older and vying for the nomination and we all ignored her or something.
