No.

The Democratic Party needs to have an open primary at the convention.

This is "Manchester by the Sea" depressing right now.

The convention is too far away. Biden needs to pass the baton to someone next week so the public has more time to learn about the candidate. Make a big 4th of July story about it. But get it done soon.

Absolutely right, but we all know how this tragedy will play out. DNC will be overconfident and out of touch and will stick with Biden and then when he loses in November, they'll say "aw shucks, anyone would've lost"

"Biden lost because he was TOO radical and progressive and TOO effective on progressive issues- anyway, here's our candidate for 2028, we put Peolsi and Fienstien in the Fly machine and combined their DNA."

Who would you run? A specific name.

u/D3vils_Adv0cate 3d ago

Gavin Newsom is someone that would run and would win.

Michelle Obama would be my top choice but she never would.

I really hope he runs in 2028

People arguably don't even need to learn much about the candidate. Just need someone that isn't Trump or Biden.

Jimmy Carter is eligible for another term, maybe Biden will pass the baton onto him! :)

I’m prepared to vote Biden. Also prepared to watch him lose. Biden will lose. It’s the honest truth.

You are going to get downvoted by the DNC army. DNC can't find a single candidate to beat trump? A convicted felon, rapist and insurrectionist Nazi sympathizer? This is totally on them. Trump is going to win and it's entirely their fault. Pretty sure they will blame Bernie and rfk

Don't forget the 18 to 26 year olds, they'll be blamed because they didn't vote for the guy more out of it than Grandpa after Thanksgiving dinner

u/thrivingintheblue 4d ago

We will hold our noses and vote.

u/Tyrath Massachusetts 4d ago

I mean I will blame anyone who chooses to sit out and not vote. Don't care about their age.

u/SchemeMoist 4d ago

The blame lies at the feet of the people forcing in an unwinnable candidate. Almost anyone can beat Trump and they pick one of the only people guaranteed to lose, and then will blame anyone who didn't want to get behind their plan to Weekend at Bernie's Biden into the white house. The DNC hasn't learned anything these past 10 years and apparently neither have you.

u/ecn9 3d ago

If you watch the Supreme Court pass crazier and crazier rulings and still don't vote the blame lies on you. IDGAF about Biden, it's an idealogical war.

u/CatD0gChicken 3d ago

If it's a war why are the Dems showing up with a rubber knife?

College-educated 40-something mom who spent the 2000 election excitedly covering the craziness in journalism class. I never imagined the day I would think voting is a waste of time. And yet here we are.

u/Maximum_Pollution371 3d ago

Yeah no, fuck off, ya'll zoomers better fucking vote. IDGAF if you write in "Butt Muncher" but you sure as shit better fill out that damn ballot.

u/sir_mrej 3d ago

Who would you run?

u/Economy-Bear766 4d ago

This. All the people trying to make this somehow okay need to stop.

This is fucking insane.

u/viviolay 3d ago

Also pathetic. Insane and pathetic. And depressing

u/majestictrailblazer 4d ago

THANK YOU. Finally someone with common sense

They can't. A ton of the campaign funding is unusable unless it is used for the Biden-Harris campaign. I guess they could pick Harris, but her approval rating is worse then Bidens
