"Replace biden" was a perfectly good idea almost right up to the day ezra did his piece in february when it was too late for it to happen in any orderly fashion absent the fantasy of the nonexistent Dem Council Of Elders uncontroversially choosing someone

These fools are literally asking to go back to "smoke-filled rooms" that our current delegate selection system was created to replace. Can't tell you how times I've heard "The Democrats" need to get a new candidate! Who are these magical Democrats they are talking about? Democratic voters chose JOE.

They were all kinda reeling in Jan 23 from predicting a huge red wave that would prove how much everyone hated Biden instead of the Dems picking up a Senate seat

Waiting until after it becomes a horrible idea and then being able to scold people is the point.

There was no dumping Biden once the majority of dems voted for him I. The 2020 primaries, aside from him voluntarily stepping g down Something g he would never have ever done, because he has a well intentioned but misguided messiah complex

Run Harris. Clearly she is a better alternative to Biden. That debate performance was disqualifying. Biden’s only attribute is not being Trump, which also conveniently applies to Harris, but unlike Biden Harris can forcefully attack Trump.

Chumps like ezra believe they are literally the Jedi Council from Star Wars--which, you know, is a pathetic conceit on its own. Worse, they can't even bother to notice that when faced with a fascist challenge, the self-important council at issue was hopelessly overmatched and failed disastrously.

Imagine the response by then of someone trying to do it the right way - by running a primary challenge. Total freak out

Seriously! For over a year they'd mumble "Well, he's kinda old" now and then, and all of a sudden mid-primary they go "Wait, he can't be the candidate!" Why the flopdoodle didn't you try to draft Gretchen Whitmer a year ago if you're sure she has what it takes?

Also it was a very good idea up until it became obvious that Trump was the R nominee, since it's easier to imagine a fair number of Trump > Biden > other R voters than a similar number of T > B > T voters (and similarly T > B > sit it out voters).

I still think there’s another crack in October. Everyone just shut up and be patient until then, otherwise wasting breath and causing trouble
