If Biden drops out it will be because he was forced out. This is a betrayal of Biblical proportions.

I normally can’t stand him, but he’s right. The only way to attach any kind of legitimacy to this nightmare is an open vote at the convention. If Harris is made the nominee without an open vote and fair competition, not only will I not vote for her, I will renounce any affiliation I’ve ever had with the Democratic Party and I will find a left-wing third party to align myself with that isn’t afraid to stand up for its principles and through which I will be able to have a voice in politics on the local level.
