i am a lifelong democratic voter and i strongly agree with ezra klein's case for biden to step back and to run an open convention we need a president that gets technology, including what's happening onchain, and can lead america into our next generation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnsCxDOIqcA

There isn't a candidate that ticks those boxes, though. He or she just doesn't exist.

At this point I’m voting none of the above — which I’ve never done. I’d love an independent ideally to run but I’d welcome this option as well.

Yep, sad to see he hasn't stepped down so far. What is he waiting for?

unfortunately anyone in a position of power at the DNC is too scared to suggest this, and everyone around him has no interest in giving up their grip on power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kORYg4zTcoY

We need more than first past the post, in lieu of that being a single issue voter could help to form the candidate that we want but for now leadership is literally just saying “hey you’ll take this shit sandwich and enjoy it”

Im a single issue voter, and that issue is a lack of diverse political parties. Vote 3rd party, regardless of what the candidate believes.

If Dean Phillips hadn’t come out as pro war, I might have considered him. I feel like I’m picking a cable tv package in the late 80s with this election..

I can’t possibly vote for Democrats this cycle with how they’ve been treating technology in general, and it’s broader than just Biden. Technology and growth are what will ensure my kids are better off

I agree long-term, and not short-term, this next election he needs to run and win so we still have a democracy in this country... and not an insurrectionist/rapist.

So tricky. Ezra might be right to trust that an open convention would not be a moment of chaos and failure and that there is an anti-maga majority who would coalesce around the eventual nominee. The stakes are very high. However it goes, coalesce we must.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Ranked choice voting solves our problems with a system that forces choosing between two subpar candidates.

Yep, but instead we will be stuck deciding between two people who are too old to get a job at Walmart. And one of those people is functionally retarded.

I agree 100% but he will never do that, and the DNC has already put their strength behind Biden, so it appears we are stuck with him for 1 more goround.

The DNC will never allow that. Power is their only god.

Completely agree but also nervous the party might pick Elizabeth Warren.

RFK is currently the best option. He might not stand a chance, but at this point “throwing my vote away” seems like a better choice than voting for the status quo.
