    I’m not gonna take issue with the bulk of the piece, because the author is correct. If you are doing Christianity right, you should be opposed to all war. But we have thousands of years of history that proves that even the people in charge of Christianity often got that wrong, also, so at least Biden is in good company.

    But I will continue to argue with

    Almost no other Democratic candidate would have Biden’s unique vulnerabilities.

    Yes, Biden is old, but it’s simply ignoring reality to think that any other candidate would have a better shot against Trump. Harris? Dean Phillips? The General Election lets everyone vote, not just Progressives. A Democratic candidate will need to get enough votes in enough states to run the Electoral College gauntlet, and like it or not, Biden is still the best shot at that. He’s done it before, after all.
