Do Democrats have a recruiting issue at the Presidential level

[DaleCooper]

There were plenty of credible Democratic candidates that were younger than 70 in 2020 but they all either got slandered into oblivion or they humiliated themselves and destroyed their own credibility by sprinting to the left to compete with Sanders' vastly overstated popularity during the primary.

Yes, I do think there's a recruiting issue because anyone outside of Democratic strongholds that wants to maintain any credibility within their state will sit out.
