I know Cali has already thoroughly taken Gabbard apart.

But to me the only thing that is certain is had the Dem nominated Gabbard, people would have been on this board complaining about how someone more serious and qualified like Biden would have been a better choice (I'm not saying one of them would have been you, but I suspect many of them would have been the same people who are currently critical of Biden who has not even had the opportunity to govern).

Political primaries seem to be a breading ground for the No True Scotsman fallacy, because the infinite possibilities of what could have been never have to compromise, while the political reality of what is requires constant compromise.

I would suggest worrying more about what's possible with the circumstances that exist rather than worrying about what could have been. Of the two guys who will be President in January, Biden will be the best.
