I don’t have any doubts. I have grave concerns that anyone, literally anyone, would argue that DT is a better option than Biden in any regard. That’s not to say I’m happy to have an old white dude as the nominee but he’s been exceptionally productive and has near infinite less baggage than the alternative.
I’ve yet to be presented with a legit legal way Biden could drop out and allow voters to choose another candidate. Lots of opinions that he should do it but no experts weighing in on how. I could have missed a lot of coverage so I ask people to respectfully share this policy with me.
Supreme Court 2017, after it was established in court that the DNC rigged the primary against Bernie, made a ruling established that the DNC is a private company and can do whatever the fuck they want to decide on a nominee at any point, regardless of whatever the delegates are.
There are no legal barriers to replacing Biden. In fact, his replacement can basically double dip with donors.
I guess I need to learn more about the relationship between the party committees, state’s laws for getting someone on the ballot, primary elections, the ballot box, and the electoral college. Why have a primary election in each state if the party can just put whomever they want on the general election ballot? Could the DNC literally just do a switcheroo and put Hilary (for example) on the ballot in November?
Edit: Found this which answered most of my questions.
the choice of a nominee is party business — not state law, not federal law, and not constitutional law.

It’s all very simple. At the end of the convention we have a nominee and there name goes on the state ballots.
And yes. They could do a Hillary switcheroo.
Ok so what’s the drinking game this time
Chug whenever.
Let your heart guide you.
If he just completely paused and doesn’t start again, we all have to start drinking and not stop till 2028.
If he talks about “trying his goodest” again, finish the bottle
Sigh…
Of a the parts of that statement that were problematic, him using the made up word ‘goodest’, was the least of these.
