Out of frustration at the situation we’re in I wrote letters to Schumer, Jefferies and the DNC yesterday, to convey my concerns about the lack of leadership- as Tim said, what’s the plan to prosecute the case against Trump and the MAGA movement and get people off their couches to vote? And my resentment at being treated like the enemy- I’m the foot soldier who canvasses, phone banks and writes postcards, not a pundit and not the media, and Biden is not listening to me. I wanted him to run in 2015, signed up to volunteer for his campaign as soon as he entered the race but now I see a bitter and yes old man. Stepping down is the honorable decision and we do need to shake things up. People I’ve talked to since the debate are in a state of despair and don’t see how we can win.

What do you see as a viable path forward if he steps down?

At this point, I’m in favor of Biden releasing his delegates to Harris. She would inherit his campaign’s infrastructure and war chest. An open convention would be a mess, tempt R donors to play games and take the spotlight offTrump, MAGA and Project 25. If Biden is determined (defiant) to stay in the race, then I want him to articulate a winning strategy.
