Bakari S is representative of the problem we face. By claiming that it is too late, nothing can be done, Biden must remain the nominee, etc., he and his brethren are gaslighting the American people just as badly as JB is. They are also dividing the Dems when, clearly, unity is needed. Come on, man. Get real. Biden will lose. He can..and should.. step aside.

I agree. There seems to two contradictory assertions here: (1) we have to replace Biden and (2) we can't replace Biden. If those two things are really true, then we are screwed. But I believe that (2) isn't absolute truth. It's not true that "no white man has ever given up that kind of power." LBJ chose not to run in 1968 and there was no assumption that he should resign the presidency when he chose not to run. As for money, I believe that the money will be found. As for state campaign organizations, why can't the Biden orgs become Harris orgs, or Whitmer orgs or whatever? (yes, the money will come from a different source). Also, having worked on presidential campaigns, I know that a lot of the grass-roots work is done by the state Democratic party, not by the candidate's own organization. Claiming that it's too late is just fatalism.
I agree with you. Why would he have to resign? He could just say that he realized he is too old for the vigorous campaign that is needed and he wants to concentrate on running the country.
Wanting to concentrate on peace in Viet Nam is what LBJ said when he declined to run. "With AmericaтАЩs sons in the fields far away, with AmericaтАЩs future under challenge right here at home, with our hopes and the worldтАЩs hopes for peace in the balance every day, I do not believe that I should devote an hour or a day of my time to any personal partisan causes or to any duties other than the awesome duties of this officeтАУthe Presidency of your country. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President."
I disagree. ItтАЩs clearly late and probably too late. You can say that you donтАЩt care which is perfectly acceptable but itтАЩs pretty clear a lot of people disagree. There is also no way to take the position from Biden. ItтАЩs up to him, entirely.

I do find this "He just needs to get out there and fight" to be the problem. He clearly isn't capable of doing that. At least not past 5pm WST.
