I really got annoyed with Bakari -and his dismissive “people are engaging in fantasy fiction” talk. Almost as annoying with AOC’s “the matter is closed.” And I disagree with his point that Biden must either RESIGN or continue to run, and that he can’t just step aside as a candidate. Of course he can, and he would be able to explain why, whether on political grounds and an honest recognition that he will not be the best person for the job in 2-4 years . I don’t think he WILL but he could.

I’ve still yet to hear a sound explanation why choosing a new candidate at the convention is not feasible. I’ve heard reasoned arguments why the candidate that comes out of it may not have a good chance of winning, but not why it’s not doable. Bakari smugly ridiculed the idea out of hand.
