    Do they need a “strategy” when the whole point of a primary is to find a suitable candidate?

      Yes. You need to prove to me that Biden stepping out is better for Democrats and/or America than Biden staying in.

      If your strategy is bullshit “I’ll figure it out later”, then sorry, I’m sticking with Biden for my support. If you can’t even reliably tell me that you’ll back Kamala Haris (or any other specificly named reasonable replacement), then that’s proof of your lack of strategy.

      This is too important of an issue to fuck up and turn into chaos just a few months before the election. If yall don’t like Biden, then my strategy is for Biden to run and then resign in January, making Kamala President (and keeping the important technicalities of donations which are earmarked to the Biden campaign). Anything else has incredible amounts of risk tying up important money that’s been collected for months. (Alternatively, if someone can assure me that Kamala will have the full support of the Biden campaign’s resources if Biden leaves… I can support Kamala without a doubt).
