Today, Ezra Klein said in the New York Times that Biden should be convinced to step aside and that the Democratic Party should pick a different nominee at the convention in August.

So yes, I think Biden, as painful as this is, should find his way to stepping down as a hero. That the party should help him find his way to that, to being the thing he said he would be in 2020, the bridge to the next generation of Democrats. And then I think Democrats should meet in August at the convention to do what political parties have done there before: organize victory.

A name will resolve Yes if someone posts evidence in the comments of that person directly saying they they think that Joe Biden shouldn't be the 2024 Democratic Nominee.

On August 1st, all remaining names resolve no.

If you have suggestions of other names to add to the list, please let me know in the comments.

bought Ṁ70 Rashida Tlaib YES

@dglid imo telling people not to vote for Biden is pretty much the same as saying he shouldn't be the nominee

@Shump Hmmm, yeah slightly ambiguous but I think I'll count it
