I can't see the 'taking the world to war' at all.Data currently shows most young people don't feel affiliated with either party, but they did with Bernie and history has shown that there is a significant block of voters in the US who will vote their party no matter who is the candidate or what they are running on.
The progressives in the Democratic controlled house are very, very hesitant to support Biden running in 2024. They are dancing around the questions on that when asked if he is running if they would endorse him. They know their voter base got in line with ideas like cancelling student debt and that has instead turned into life costing more.
It's why I said I'm worried they will take the world to war. They need an economic stimulus like they did back in 2008/2009 but with inflation already high and interest rates going the opposite direction than required to keep the economy afloat they don't have that license to pour fuel on the fire.
.... except if there is a global conflict when the rule book is thrown out the window. War is good for business unfortunately. It's good for economies.
Further I doubt that the younger voters would have carried Bernie over the line because as you say there is a significant block of voters that will vote their party.
Not sure how many independents supported him but even then it would have required a large block of Democrats including Blacks and Hispanics.
Anyway, the Trump machine had a lot more money behind him so the lies would have been widely distributed.
Biden's choice of VP has been an enormous fizzer as normally the VP would stand if the President doesn't.
It would be a disaster if she stood.
