I probably sound like a broken record, but Biden stepping down is the best way forward at this point. Regardless of what you think about his capacities, he's lost the confidence of too many of the party's representatives. That's poison going into an election.
It's too late. should he have stepped down yes. But he didn't so now we need to push his corpse over the finish line. If we don't then it's a hand off to the other party because of how first past the post works.
I would argue that it's not too late. The two-party system, for once, works in our favor. People overwhelmingly vote for parties anymore, not candidates. As long as we have someone with decent name recognition who isn't falling apart or perceived as falling apart, we are very capable of getting to a better position for the election this November.
Unfortunately, the most likely candidate who meets those criteria is Harris. But c'est la vie.
Harris is very unpopular with a large portion of the democratic base because of her very close ties with law enforcement and resistance to criminal justice reform while Attorney General of California.
Anyone who can't support Harris because she was a prosecutor wouldn't be supporting Biden because he wrote the crime bill, something that's WAY worse. It's still an improvement.
