Why ask him to step down if they can choose someone else. He is the official candidate as voted for in the primary. The primary is over. And if you're gonna stick your head in the sand and believe that people are going to just vote for whoever they happen to put up as a democrat I'm gonna need you to look back on the 2016 election like I said because we already know this has happened before. If you think it can't happen again you're part of the problem.
Cool, he’s still not the official candidate because he hasn’t been selected at the convention yet. If you’re going to lecture someone for not knowing how the system works you should at least understand that the primaries don’t actually select the candidate, the convention does.
“We have to run a weak candidate that polls like shit because the last time we did this exact same thing we lost but it’ll work this time” is the real head in the sand stance.
If you're smart enough to recognize this technicality, you're smart enough to see that history says not picking him after the primary already has been declared and no other candidates have been campaigning for the democratic party in this lead up is a bad idea. I'm done here.
