    Or, its very late in the game and this chaos causes the dems to splinter, leaving trump ripe for victory.

    You act like you know exactly what will happen, when in reality things can end up pear shaped whether we stick with biden or get a new candidate.

    Polls and MSM are focusing on biden, allowing trump to gain ground. Whatever is gonna happen needs to happen NOW.

      I mean, Trumps going to win if we stick with Biden.

      There are two things I’m confident in, in this order:

      Biden won’t be the next president;

      Biden won’t be the nominee.

      The idea that we should stick with a candidate who has effectively already lost this election because shifting candidates would cause “splintering” is ignoring the fact that the party is already splintered. If it wasn’t, Biden wouldn’t be losing like this.

        Brace yourself, bc based on discussions here and what he’s said, I think Biden will remain the nominee. Yes, that should chill you to the bone, if it causes Trump to win. However, everyone seems too afraid to buck the system right now - e.g. Harris is not well-liked already, by anyone it seems, and stands to gain the Presidency handed to her by Biden, so she’s not going to risk that sweet deal by trying to remove him. If he did so willingly, which he’s already said that he won’t, then that would be one thing, but otherwise…

          I mean he’s going to say that until he isn’t running any more. I’m not clutching my pearls.

          If I do start clutching my pearls, head for the exits. I’ll be very loud about it at that time.

          I think we’re not going to have Biden as the eventual nominee; I think whomever we end up with will do fine (as long as they are on the right side of the Israel/ Gaza issue).
