General Discussion

Republicans have long cited the "liberal elites" in their faux populism, purtporting to be champions for the common folk while actually serving the oligarchy.

Any person who rises to the top of the Democratic Party, or any large organization or profession or even scientific discipline, can accurately be described as "elite."

In that respect, Joe Biden is an elite. The question as to whether an elite has lost touch with and cares not for the common folk has to be taken on a case by case (or person by person) basis.

The situation we now find ourselves in is fraught with the perils of Democrats turning against each other. Hard feelings and blame can be destructive to our common cause, as are accusations of ulterior motives.

All of which hurts the prospects of Democrats keeping the presidency and the Senate, and taking back the House.

I do not profess to know whether rallying behind Joe Biden or selecting a different candidate will best ensure, in what looks to be a close election, defeating the orange criminal.

THIS has to be our top priority, which I am inclined to believe is shared all Democrats. Please, let's give each other the benefit of the doubt.
