    I think we’ve got two options though neither have suggested they’ll run. First off, John Stewart. He would actually excite enough voters as nominee, he’s shown himself as an activist in his lobbying for support for first responders and veterans. He could win, easily. People on the left know and love him. He’s very popular. Sure he’s a TV personality, but so was Trump, so its not like its setting some kind of new precedent.

    Second option, is Shawn Fein. He showed a major W in labor organizing and he has show he can organize at national level, and manage the press in such a way as to get a desired outcome. I think he’s a longer shot, but a better shot than Biden right now. He can lock in the union vote. The problem will be liberals and neo-liberals, since they are largely anti-labor. The neo-liberals aren’t going to cast a vote for a union Democrat. Its a question of if liberals have their heads too far up their own asses to not vote for a labor organizer.

    We have options. Its not too late to rescue this.
