Vailalamadness: All are viable when one considers Trump would crush Biden. Heard a white male journalist on MSNBC spread the canard 'black women are the soul of the Democratic Party,' so they must not bypass Harris. Does an Indian/Jamaican deserve their support? If race is their only issue, maybe.

It boggles my mind that the only national newspaper opinion columnist to say the truth about the president's complicity in the intentional and criminal starvation of over a million people is fucking Nicholas Kristof.

Opinion | How Biden Has Gotten in the Way of Fighting Starvation in Gazawww.nytimes.com Israel and the U.S. have made a boogeyman out of the U.N. group that’s providing critical services in Gaza.

One more advantage to Biden bailing is that Genocide Joe leaves the stage and new policy can be set. I'll take Newsom. Harris is too compromised, and for all the wrong reasons can't be elected in today's US.

I’ve yet to see anyone present that as a viable option

All are viable when one considers Trump would crush Biden. Heard a white male journalist on MSNBC spread the canard 'black women are the soul of the Democratic Party,' so they must not bypass Harris. Does an Indian/Jamaican deserve their support? If race is their only issue, maybe.

Is the plan viable though? To get funding? To get workers. To get on all the ballots. I haven’t seen anytime explain how that would work if it’s anyone other than Harris.

Any port in a storm, but I admit Harris has the inside track.

I agree with you. But logistics matter.

Unfortunately for Kamala, whom I backed in '20, lives in a country that is still WAY too immature to elect a brown woman as president. Just my opinion. I'd roll the dice happily against a McCain or a Romney... but not with Shitgibbon. It's existential now.

They have funding, they have workers... and all Biden needs to do is pick the new ticket. We haven't even NOMINATED yet FFS. "Too Late" is when Biden has another senior moment in mid-October. That's the defination of 'too late'.

Huh? I don’t think he can just pick whoever he wants. I don’t it works that way

Of course he can. In nominating conventions, delegates are 'bound' ethically (often not legally, but definitely morally) to the person who won them in the state primaries. Biden has them ALL. He controls them, and if he said 'vote for x/y', they're pretty much bound to vote for x/y, and x/y wins

And sorry I don’t think they are bound to vote the way Biden wants either. Ethically, morally or any other way.

"State laws aside, pledged Democratic delegates (unlike Republican delegates) have no more than a moral obligation to back their candidate, and a convention-passed rule could even override state laws." There are 14 states where the delegates are legally bound to Biden. The others... moral.

But I don’t think the cash he raised can be used by anyone other the Biden / Harris campaign

TBH I don't know the internalities of the rules under which the funds were given, but I'd be shocked if it couldn't be rerouted. Would need to hear from an expert.

The only viable plan is one Joe endorses, like it or not, as he has ALL the delegates. He can't be pushed out by the DNC or any poll if he doesn't want to be. Hopefully the plan he picks is to step back, organize another ticket his delegates will support, announce he's not running, bingo. Lets go!.
