Get a Grip, Democrats. You Can Still Win This. Biden's not far behind, the economic conditions remain excellent, and a vile assassination attempt in July doesn't determine November's outcome.
Unless they can arrange a new primary to replace Biden as the candidate before the convention, then the course of future history has already been set.
They could easily find a winning candidate, but will not because the party leadership would rather see Biden lose than to lose the campaign funding provided by capitalist PACs. Therefore “all is lost” is a realistic attitude.
The time to start thinking about what you’ll do in a post-Democracy USA was almost 10 years ago when we were put on this path by a DNC who needed to ensure Hillary could have “Her Turn” at the presidency and sponsored Trump as they imagined him to be an easy opponent.
Those who are still in Denial, please proceed to Anger.
This is pure delusion. A rushed primary now does not in any way guarantee a win. The process will be chaotic and uncertain. The army of shitty oped writers will go to work asking “what do we really know about ____”. They’ll dig up innocuous shit from their past that make good headlines. After all of that the favourable a and hypothetical polls will not count for much. Acting like Biden stepping down is a sure way to win had no basis in reality.
Should he have announced he wasn’t going to run a year ago ? Yes. But we’re past that now.
This is pure delusion. A rushed primary now does not in any way guarantee a win.
Failing to run a primary doesn’t guarantee a win either. All it guarantees is that the incumbent gets less screen time before the election.
The process will be chaotic and uncertain.
I don’t pretend to foresee specific details, but the general arc of history is as apparent as it has been for the last 8 years.

I think the DNC does, but only if Biden steps down. A hostile takeover would be pretty damaging. There’s lots of insiders and major political players giving non-answers because they’re not idiots, they saw the debate, they see the polling, they know he’s dragging down other candidates. But under current rules, if Biden wants the nomination no one can do anything about it, so they’re hedging their bets because it’s very likely grandpa’s ego will force them to campaign for him after all.

Op-eds and headlines are bullshit. Watch the DNC chairperson to see where the party is headed: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/dnc-chair-claims-biden-put-on-a-masterclass-during-error-laden-press-conference/ar-BB1pRTxA
Likewise, keeping your head in the sand and pretending that Biden could still win in November.
No we aren’t, the convention isn’t until September. The DNC could announce a different candidate today if they wanted, but they don’t want to.
