4 years is a long time...

And we literally just used that excuse 4 years ago and are going to have the exact two candidates...

And history shows we'll likely still have to pick between two elderly out of touch white men in another four years.

One will probably be actually evil again, and the other will likely think changing anything is too rash of a decision and things are changing to fast already.

The entire point of running for office is getting people to vote for you, that's why the party places so much importance on large corporate donations.

But when a moderate candidate can't get voters energized because they're too pro business and won't help Americans, suddenly it's the Americans fault.

Maybe we should re-evalute if "bringing millions from corporations and billionaires" is really more important in a candidate than "people like this person and want to vote for them".

We keep running historically unpopular candidates in the general and then getting mad they're not popular with voters.

Why keep doing it over and over again?
