This is the question that everyone saying Biden should drop out can’t seem to answer.

I don’t like our choices here either, but I’m not so foolish as to think having the party choose another candidate for us is gonna save us.

This is the party that consistently won’t listen to its own voter base and keeps putting up unpalatable centrists like Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.

People think the party that keeps snatching defeat from the jaws of victory will somehow make a good choice this late in the game? As if.

Also, who is really going to be happy with the party choosing for us anyway? The best they could give would to be allow delegates to choose a new candidate at the convention but delegates are not regular voters, they are party apparatchiks. They will only choose another bland centrist corporate-friendly Democrat, like always. It’s a big club and we ain’t in it etc. There is no progressive lightning rod that will excite ALL Democrat voters waiting in the wings. There just isn’t and we need to stop pretending there is.

Biden is who we have, and we can accept it, even if we don’t like it or we can accept that this is our last real “free” election ever.
