    Replacing nationwide primaries with a private 400-person schmoozefest at the last minute is moving in the wrong direction.

      Trump winning is the wrong direction. What can actually prevent that is replacing Biden.

      If you don’t like replacing him at the convention, how about a single nationwide mail-in primary ballot?

      There’s options! There’s still time!

        Primaries are held by the states, before the Convention. It’s… kind of the whole point?

          The point is to give voters a change (EDIT Er, a chance, not change lol) to express their preferences before the Convention. The primaries aren’t legally binding, they’re just a fancy opinion poll.

          A mail-in ballot fulfills the same function.

              I’m advocating for replacing Biden by any means necessary. I think a condensed super-primary would be the best way to do it, but I’m not opposed to him being replaced at the Convention either.
