I would feel better if those who are supposed to be political experts didn't beclown themselves this way. The choice is:
1) Biden
2) Harris
3) Total chaos / royal rumble, serious risk of coalition crack up.
Leading an anti-fascist coalition is very hard. There is no Aaron Sorkin solution here.
You could propose:
Biden holds a press conference from the East Room with Harris: "I don't think I can serve another full 4-year term. I'm not running, endorsing Harris, and telling all my delegates to vote for Harris."
At least that is a halfway plausible plan. Anything else courts disaster.
Absolutely. The complete failure to engage with the fact that a contested convention basically means - at best! - recreating the bitterest, sharpest rows from the middle of the primary season a little over two months before the election is maddening.
As you know, I am pretty sceptical of reading race into *everything*, but the repeated failure of all these people to admit that the only feasible non-Biden choice *is* the black Vice President is remarkably notable - absolutely honking foghorn here.
Yet these pundit dipshits think people would magically stop being sexist and racist because someone didn't deal with a firehouse if lies on live TV is driving me up the wall.
