Think the point is that there's no good option known and an overly short runway to build momentum, and the likely option would be Harris, and she's already the default option.

Instead of "Biden should step aside", the calls should be more specific in what they affirmatively do want.

Same with rhetoric about "just any third party", that's so vague that no one should want that, as third parties are very different and in opposition to each other.

So calls for 'not Biden' or 'just any third party' are utterly useless except for screwing up chances for a D win, without any particular actionable agenda being advocated for.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
