Dan Gillmor on Nostr: If the Democratic party gives in to its Biden panic and persuades him to step aside, ...
If the Democratic party gives in to its Biden panic and persuades him to step aside, there'd better be a modern equivalent of smoke-filled room where the factions make a decision on what the ticket will be -- and then stick with it, all of them, body and soul, no matter what.
This would, of course, involve an unprecedented level of vetting in a short period, and unprecedented unity.
Does that sound like Democrats?
Conceivably, if everyone focuses on saving us from a malevolent dictatorship.
