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."
