    these are definitely the actions of a competent political party that is capable of enforcing central control of its party members and definitely not the panicked actions of a loose collection of rich shitbirds whose entire existence is based on patronage

    They are ceding their strongest arguments against Trump by 1) Being as sycophantic as Trump supporters 2) Ramming through a president whom the people do not want.

    I really think this isn't even done so much to protect Biden as to continue the proud liberal tradition of maintaining the "negative peace of the absence of tension."

    Spitballing, this could really be paving the way for him to actually drop out. Obviously if it were going to happen it should be sooner rather than later. Giving him the nomination means if he drops out he gets to direct who the successor will be using his pledged delegates. If he drops out before getting the nomination his delegates can vote for whoever.

      Democracy is when the withered embalmed corpse gets to pick who the president is by pointing in their direction

      On a related note if I were a high level Dem politician I would be fucking pissed. The party is basically looking at Whitmer on one side and Biden on the other and saying, "ehh, we prefer our chances with Biden"

      Talk about an insult

    I'm not sure it means anything is going to happen, other than the media outlets squeezing this for every drop. I'm not sure what the factions are, or what they exactly want. My best guess though is that they want get as much fundraising money as possible and i think they may see Biden as fucking that up.

    Dems look forward to a Trump admin cause $$$. They fundraise massive numbers off him. But who wants to give money to a corpse that's going to loose? Worse, why give money to the people who ran the corpse who lost? That question is what i think is driving this

    The Biden Crime Family is attempting to steal the election right in front of us, just like 2020. 6ers were right. We're in the Storm. Patriots are not in control.

    Does biden have some kinda blackmail over the rest of the party or something? Why does he even want to stay president with a melted ass brain, is it because of Hunter going to prison

      "I can't let the carceral system (that I had a large role in creating) take my last living son away!"

      I doubt that's the reason but it's funny to think about
