Ok Harris and Walz then. I'm not offended by "orange man" etc. which you frequently see here but keeping things at a grown up level is good too. I was specifically responding to you wondering aloud why he hasn't been replaced and why people who (in your opinion) should know better go along with him. I gave some reasons why. To recap:

1. Internationally there is currently no alternative to the US as a superpower and Trump is the leader of the US.

2. Domestically he continues to have a substantial constituency. Some of his polices actually poll better than he does.

3. The potential replacement cannot merely "resist"; they have to actually get elected and that requires having a vision that the electorate endorses.

And I would add:

4. Most (or let's say enough) Americans don't feel they are losing as you put it.

I believe you when you say you would like to apply the banhammer liberally (haha!) but so you know I come to HN for tech news. Looking at my comment history I do have a lot of political ones but it is in the hopes that I have contributed something to the conversation. Of course whether I succeeded is for the readers to decide.
