So unilaterally picking someone else will make it.. better?
Biden is behind Trump in gd New Jersey, which has been a democratic stronghold since 1988. Biden is unfit for office now and he's only getting older! How much worse will he be by the next debate? Or by the election? Will he even make it to November??
So what do you do?
You advocate for replacing him at the convention.
With whom? How do you select this person?
I heard an interesting idea on DemocracyNow
But as for what I am going to do? I'm going to keep screaming at them to do their fucking jobs!
Replacing nationwide primaries with a private 400-person schmoozefest at the last minute is moving in the wrong direction.
Trump winning is the wrong direction. What can actually prevent that is replacing Biden.
If you don't like replacing him at the convention, how about a single nationwide mail-in primary ballot?
There's options! There's still time!
Primaries are held by the states, before the Convention. It's.. kind of the whole point?
The point is to give voters a ~~change~~ (EDIT Er, a chance, not change lol) to express their preferences before the Convention. The primaries aren't legally binding, they're just a fancy opinion poll.
A mail-in ballot fulfills the same function.
It sounds like you are advocating for primaries.
I'm advocating for replacing Biden by any means necessary. I think a condensed super-primary would be the best way to do it, but I'm not opposed to him being replaced at the Convention either.
