Why? Because you want someone else to run? What about the actual voters (nor donors, journalists, and pundits, but the millions who voted FOR Biden)? Why do you believe they no longer matter? Have you joined MAGA in believing only "certain" people should have a say in who runs things??

That’s a bad take. There are also millions of us voters who voted against Trump, not for Biden and what we fear is Trump returning to power and the best way to prevent that is someone else in the top of the ticket. Biden will loose, someone else will at least have a chance.

Who voted "against Trump" in the Dem primary?

me. my vote for Biden in the 2024 primary was a vote for "a candidate who is up to the job of defeating Trump and then being president for 4 more years." I believed that at the time. I no longer do and want him to step down.

Well, you're in the minority, 66% of Dem voters don't want Biden to step down. So why should we override the Popular Will?

according to one poll from 6 days ago, I am in the minority of Dems, though the majority of independents already agreed with me in that poll. a majority of Dems in that poll also agreed with me that Biden is too old. minds may continue to change about this as people evaluate btw now and convention.

Currently, the most popular solution to this among both Pundits and Donors is a wide-open snap primary. Do you think this will lead to more or less cohesion within the Democratic Party? Will this lead to the best person being chosen for the job, considering alternatives are polling similarly?

you know my position, so I'm not sure why you're asking me to argue for a different position.

I thought this was a "debate"? If it's not, then my mistake, but usually in debates, we talk about questions, including what is likeliest to happen if Biden steps down. Right now, handing it directly to Harris is not The Most Talked About Solution. So how do you think that would work out?

lol, thank you mr debate knower, for telling me the universe rules of debate say I am only allowed to advocate for "the most talked about solution." in that case, I respectfully withdraw. surely you will be able to find a better opponent who actually supports this "most talked about" solution

No no, I'm not asking you to "advocate" for the most talked about solution, I'm just wondering what happens when you advocate for your opinion which then leads to something you don't want happening. If you can't engage with "what if your strategy backfires", then you're not interested in debate.

sounds good, I'm not interested in debate! you bagged another one. :-)

Oh nice, at least you're finally admitting the whole "the debate is important and we should have it" schtick was just more bad faith tactics that would allow you to continue smearing Biden!
