President Biden should resign immediately and make Kamala Harris our first woman president. That would really stick in Trump's craw. Does Biden really need to stick it out for the next two plus months as a lame duck president that few even in his own party respect? President Harris can then appoint her own vice president and be spared the indignity of presiding over Trump's Electoral College victory. And maybe she'll actually show some gumption and allow Ukraine to use U.S. weapons to strike military targets inside Russia, which is something Biden should have done two years ago.
Excellent and thorough analysis, Ed. Thanks also for the links.
Democrats will self-flagellate and wear hair shirts for a week or two, but what will they really do? Some have recommended an ideological shift to the right, others to the left. The former would alienate their base, and conservatives already have a party. The latter would alienate centrists, as Congressman Ritchie Torres, has argued. The left, as it is now constituted, is identified with obsessive concern with DEI, CRT, and LGBTQ issues, which are meaningless or repugnant to working class voters of all races and ethnicities. If you want people to vote for you, you have to show that THEIR issues are YOUR issues.

One of my criticisms of Biden is his stinginess in supplying arms to Ukraine. They should have been given everything except nuclear weapons.
