I am having terrible flashbacks to 1968. I was a naive teenager among those who marched against Johnson over Vietnam. Johnson had given us civil rights law but was hounded from the ticket. The result: the Chicago disaster, Nixon, his Southern strategy, leading to civil war today. The short-sighted rush to push Joe Biden out is filled with such peril. And if Kamala Harris and Black voters are in turn bypassed, we lose the election and everything for generations. We lose democracy. Stop. Think.
