If Biden did that, it's hard to imagine another contender trying to split the ticket at this stage. Issue here is that A) even if he resigned he could just not do that and B) he could specifically endorse someone and the assumption that would end the debate is completely wrong

It's not that IMO, I think there's a widespread assumption that Biden would name or very strongly suggest a successor (Harris)

Their chart shows that Trump is the strongest candidate and has by far the most already declared support when Biden is on the ballot! That's bad!

A homeless shelter wrote an amicus brief in the Grant’s Pass case. They argued SCOTUS should let the city arrest the homeless because, and I am not shitting you, the ban on doing so meant less people were willing to abide by their “two church services a day and no sex” requirement to sleep inside.

Democrats need bold, new leadership that can fight Donald Trump on their own terms and energize the youth. Leadership without baggage or liability. That's right: Hillary Clinton
