Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The fact you couldn't name a single person who would step up proves that switching is equally, if not more risky to do that lol

How would any of us know who's going to step up when none of the potential candidates want to come out and undermine Biden's campaign by saying they want to replace him? Even if they don't believe in Biden, they're going to back the current party pick because they too need the party support should they wind up running. This should be obvious.

We can do it now or wait until November and roll the dice, but current polling isn't looking good for Biden. If the party doesn't do anything and he does lose, there better be a fucking retribution because this will be the second time they've handed a victory over to Trump by forcing terrible candidates upon us.

They are saying your prediction is bad because you couldn't even follow your own logic to an actual real persons name.

I listed two people who I would like to see secure the nomination. As I said in my previous comment, any potential replacement is going to keep their mouth shut until Biden steps down otherwise they're undermining his campaign (should he not step down) and pissing the party leadership off. Do you think it's logical for a high ranking Dem to shout on the news that they're going to step in this late in the game while the presumptive nominee is still in the race?

Do you think it's the time to be indecisive? You don't even have one solid suggestion everyone else approves of.

You proved my point by saying "you don't know", "you're not sure", "there are a few possible ones". That's what this problem is all about, democrats not being organized enough for this yet
