It’s entirely in the past and not germane to any discussion for 2024, despite the poisoned-well assertions made in the discussion in this thread: > [@I feel the DNC considers 2020 to have been a resounding victory when it was anything but](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-feel-the-dnc-considers-2020-to-have-been-a-resounding-victory-when-it-was-anything-but/1003240): > > IMHO, there are 2 narratives that are guiding Democratic strategy this year: First narrative: Incumbency is a massive advantage. I would question this assumption when presidential incumbents have lost nearly half of all reelection races in the past half-century (Ford, Carter, Bush Sr. and Trump all lost,) but that’s not the main thrust of this thread. Furthermore, we’ve never had an 81-year old incumbent, so the normal rules or assumptions about incumbency advantage may not apply. Second n… The OP there has not raised Bernie Sanders there. DrDeth and you did that. Bernie Sanders himself made it clear he is not running in 2024. It’s a dead old horse. Please stop kicking it with respect to discussions for 2024. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/re-litigating-bernie-sanders/1003246)._
