    These are reasonable people who at this point are faced with a choice between that 80 year old and Trump.

    The Democrats could have run someone else, should have run someone else, didn’t run someone else. So those are now the two options.

        He already has enough delegates to win the convention, as is my understanding of the odd way the Democratic party makes this decision.

          Biden can announce that he is not seeking re-election. Release the delegates and it can be decided at the convention, as it officially is done. The DNC refusing to allow proper primaries makes this much messing now, but it is the only viable path forward without trump. It’s the policies and platform that are important and anyone who would vote D knows that. The left doesn’t want a king, but someone who can champion their ideals.
