If you want someone besides Biden, articulate a plan rather than simply trying to wipe Biden off the ticket without plans for elevating Harris or handling the potential legal challenges if it's someone else.
I listened and unless I missed it she did not say explicitly Biden should stay in the race. She said there were no risk-free options, and that she had not heard a plan of how to proceed w/out Biden. Also that this is driven by donor/advisor class. Dunno how that squares with Raskin's open letter.
That's fair I think and my sense as well. But Kapur is a reporter and said AOC "call[ed] for Biden to stay in the race." Again, I did not hear that. Much more nuanced and I think that's important, syllogism or no.
This is probably true of some donors, but President Biden could presumably have significant sway over his delegates were he to endorse VP Harris to be his successor. Those calling for him to step aside aren’t necessarily the same people as those who will choose the nominee.
You want someone other than Biden? Be straight and don't talk shit through back channels. Want someone besides Harris, explain how to make it happen. Quit being panicked, sniveling children and articulate a plan. Get rid of Biden is a step, not an end goal.

Panic and back channel whining is for bitches.
They had *three full years* to come up with somebody. Nobody stepped up.
The primary was run; people voted; it's done.
