MODERATORS
Yeah as long as the party meets the state filing deadlines there isn't any problem. The issue with places like Ohio is that the DNC scheduled their official nomination vote to occur after the Ohio filing deadline.
Fully agreed on Harris, just providing an example. I honestly don't know if swapping Biden is the right call. I just want them to make a choice and go back to focusing on the danger the GOP brings. If Biden says he can do it, I'll campaign for him as hard as I possibly can. I will do the same no matter who the Democrats nominate.
We just have to stop the infighting. I really wish the Democratic establishment was more responsive to their constituents, but now is not the time to punish them electorally.
It's not "infighting" if the party pushes an unpopular candidate who ends up losing, that's just what happens democratically when unpopular candidates run.
There is no "places like Ohio" - Ohio was the only one. And they passed legislation this year to move the filing deadline back explicitly to accommodate the DNC. So that argument doesn't hold water at this point.
