    Those suggesting other candidates should probably address the three issues AOC brought up:

    • Endorsements doesn’t transfer
    • Campaign contributions doesn’t transfer
    • Possible state level shenanigans by GOP to keep candidates chosen after some technicality off ballot

    None of these issues exist if Biden simply steps down.

      Just to be clear: this post is my way of endorsing Kamala.

      Harris 2024! I’ll certainly end up protesting something terrible she does, but when I do I will very much enjoy not being rounded up by the Department of Homeland Security for it.

        Run this one by all the people beaten and arrested for protesting the genocide we’re funding in Palestine.

      Are you sure contributions don’t transfer?

      Wasn’t the whole Clinton Victory Fund controversy about the Clintons seizing contributions to benefit their campaign from lesser tickets?

        Huh, I guess you can do just about anything if you’re willing to pay the political cost.

          I’ll admit I could be wrong, but I remember there being a ton of writing on this since Trump won the presidency AND Congress, which wasn’t really expected at the time.
