Here's my problem with Biden stepping aside...
Who takes his place? The Dems have had zero primaries with strong contenders, there are few people with name recognition that would do a decent job/have the broad support to beat Trump.
What are you going to do, put up Kamala? Do you know how much that world get the rage vote turnout from the racist and misogynist Republicans?
There's just no good alternatives that I can see.
The trick is to find someone whom the Dem elites like.
Or we can hold a real primary right now. I know it would be a second primary this season, but the DNC is a private corporation which makes up rules on the fly. The DNC uses their power for their big money donors, but technically they can use the same power to benefit their voter base too.
Tim Walz exists. Marianne Williamson exists. The Dem side has the presidential material. The question is do the Dem billionaire donors and their henchmen give a shit or not?
Somehow I don't think the Dem elites will be impressed if we just politely beg harder.
No… I think you need to go to a commercial break Mr CNN MSNBC talking points.
Just no
Lol as if I can afford cable.
