For one, Biden would have to willingly give up the nomination in order to release delegates already pledged to him.
Factually not true…
The DNC can rewrite the rules before the convention and nominate anyone they want.
As their lawyers have told judges, they’re a private organization that can name anyone as the candidate. That was their defense for accusations that they already rig primaries.
A second problem is the public doesn’t know any other Democrat nearly as well as they know Biden, and it would be difficult to introduce someone to the public at this late date without them being defined by Donald Trump, the Republicans and Fox News in the worst possible ways.
Literally anyone that becomes the Dem nominee will have nationwide name recognition in 24 hours.
The most common reason for voting Biden is “to stop trump” so any replacement shares the most important quality Dem voters want that Biden actually meets.
Like, sure, this would have been so much easier if we had an actual primary and the people closest to Biden hadn’t spent four years hiding him and lying about his mental capabilities. But they didn’t. They kept repeating it was too late for anyone except Biden.
When was the last time we had a dicking potato running the country? It’s like everything we’re seeing now is the Biden that’s always been, and that’s what the DNC chose to push on us
Yes, the DNC can change the rules whenever they want. But when your party is supposed to be putting a priority on Protecting Democracy, it’s a bad look to then say “Yeah, we held a bunch of uncontested elections which we are now ignoring the result of”.
Good points. However, I would argue that the DNC would absolutely fuck up picking a new nominee. They would pick some “centrist” unlikeable democrat that would try to appeal to a moderate middle that just doesn’t exist. They would run a flaccid campaign and manage to piss off everybody trying to appeal to everybody. Republicans would absolutely capitalize on the chaos.
Biden appointed Jamie Harrison, it’s very very unlikely that Jamie Harrison nominates anyone else. And if he does, it will be another moderate that names Jamie Harrison head of the DNC again.
Because the people running the DNC care more about personal political power than stopping trump.
Just like the problem with republicans isn’t just trump, it’s the people behind the scenes that also need addressed.
The problem with the DNC isn’t just Biden, it’s the people Biden put in charge of the DNC.
The party can’t survive without the voters, we’re the important part.
If the DNC refuses to acknowledge that, it won’t be the first time voters left a party behind to die without them.
At a certain point the corruption is bad enough we need to start over. It won’t be easy, but at a certain point it’s the only option.
The DNC can rewrite the rules before the convention and nominate anyone they want.
The DNC is an organization stacked with Joe Biden loyalists. And that’s before discussing the fucked vibes of an 11th hour rules rewrite on the eve of what was supposed to be a lay-up nomination. Weeks of people arguing over who gets handed the Prez nod without a single primary vote cast in their name would be an absolute disaster.

They’re still saying it, but it’s still not true.
They had a primary in 2020.
Biden won.
When was the last time there were primaries for a party with an incumbent president?
When was the last time we had a dicking potato running the country? It’s like everything we’re seeing now is the Biden that’s always been, and that’s what the DNC chose to push on us
We don’t have a potato running the country.
Unfortunately he’s not even that good
He’s amazing compared to the competition.
We should be concentrating on getting a young nominee in for the next election.
Liberal should elect Trump and push him left after the election
This is how I know you’re having a good faith discussion and not trolling.
That’s the bullshit that liberals claimed they would do in 2020 with Biden and never did. So here we are
Did we not watch the same debate?
I get it, you dislike Biden.
I dislike all POS politicians that serve capital.

You’re missing the context…
They’ve been saying they don’t need to abide by the will of the voters because they’re a private party.
And they’re right
So when they say they can’t use their power to give voters want they want because they’re impartial…
It’s obviously bullshit.
They’re going to do what they want
