I'm talking from a political strategic standpoint. If the out-there rich white male is replaced with another out-there rich white male who has the same or similar personality quirks, strategically it might not be the right time to run a candidate against him whose chances in any ordinary presidential race might be less likely. But when running against a MAGA-style candidate the chances are probably even slimmer.

I liked the Biden-Harris strategy. Get Harris in as Vice President, then that helps to raise her profile and prove her worth. If any normal, *real* human being had been running for the Republicans she might have had a chance, but tactically, strategically it is important to run a candidate with the most chance for success when the situation is so far out of normality that it puts extreme pressure on the race for victory for the opposing candidate.

These are not normal times. These are extreme times. I never dreamt that the US would be so close to autocracy and so far from real democracy, but here it is. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
