The DNC doesn’t select the nominee. Primary voters and pledged delegates do. Whoever has the most pledged delegates will be the nominee, end of story. The only way to “force” Biden out is to convince primary voters in each state to pick one of the alternatives. At this point the only option is Dean Phillips. Once the convention rolls around, it is way way too late.

Biden is running. He’s too angry and proud to go out looking like a complete failure compared to Trump who is now looking golden.
90+ indictments says what now?
All brought by insane wild eyed liberals. All normal people see the illegitimacy. It makes him even more popular.

I think the idea is that Trump does worse when he's up against a relative unknown. So, we know both Biden and Trump, and that's good for Trump. The reason he beat Hillary is because we knew Hillary and she was strongly disliked. Biden is also strongly disliked, and this is all great for Trump. But, you replace Biden with someone that people have only vague familiarity with. And that's bad for Trump. People are more likely to go for the unknown.
I thought Biden won in 2020 because he WAS a safe, known commodity.

now
1) he is the sitting president. when was the last time a sitting president was forced out? (never in the 20th or 21st century)
.
1981.
Your presidential cycles are off a cog. There was no presidential election in 1981. Who are you claiming was forced out?
Biden is doing a great job and I'll be proud to vote for him again.
I think pp is referring to Carter who lost the election to Reagan in a landslide in 1980 and took office in 1981.
Then, there was George Bush who lost to Clinton in 1992.
And, then most recently, Trump lost to Biden.
I think all 3 of these are examples of being "forced out" by voters.
Now, if you are talking "forced out" as in the DNC forcing Biden out to replace him with someone else, that is a different story.
But, it is certainly something the DNC would do - given their history of making sure their preferred candidate gets the nod.

ICYMI: there’s risk involved when someone announces too soon. He’s being strategic by holding off for a while.
Also ICYMI: Biden has been meeting with Newsom. He’s the heir apparent. If the Dems are smart, they’ll clean up CA so Newsom can run on a success story. Now is the time to throw federal dollars at ending homelessness and investing in alternatives to crime efforts.

There’s something very wrong with this man and I’m tired of being emotionally blackmailed into pretending otherwise. If democracy won’t survive admitting that Biden is probably a predator, esp based on what his own DAUGHTER wrote in her diary, then democracy never had any hope.
