Do Democrats have enough time to find a different path to victory?
It's actually not an unusual concept.
Until 1968, presidential candidates were always picked by party conventions.
And that process, though providing less public input, also produced some great nominees.

Until 1968, presidential candidates were picked by party conventions – a process revived by Biden’s withdrawal from race
With President Joe Biden out of the presidential race, the Democratic Party will have to find another nominee. Past methods of choosing have had their flaws, but also their successes.The Conversation
Wow that is a surprise. I didn’t think he’d drop out, but he did.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Relieved yet nervous? Sad? So much uncertainty.
Chaos reigns supreme.
Joe Biden's decision to withdraw will cement his legacy of doing the right things as US president. Seen from across the pond, this is what he needed to do. #biden #passthetorch #uspolitics

Rumors, conspiracy theories and heated opinion flying around on social media after events like Trump getting shot do not help anyone.
A cybersecurity expert writes on how to break the cycle: “Emphasizing facts in the news cycle, integrity in the public square, and critical thinking in our schools seem like good places to start.”

Social media and political violence – how to break the cycle
When political discourse is devoid of facts and high on demonization, it’s no surprise that political violence is the result. There is a way out, but it’s slow and will take effort.The Conversation
Whatever you think about #Biden, I don't care. Should he stay or should he go ?
The only thing you accomplish is creating division, doubt and you're undermining the unified resolve to beat Trump !
Not voting 'cause they're all corrupt, or 'cause he didn't do/did what I want is directly voting for Trump and Project 2025 !
The last four years of the Biden administration have been, by far, the most progressive agenda since Roosevelt !
Despite being continuously sabotaged by GOP/MAGA and sometimes a treacherous Democrat.

Coinbase has tried to portray its “Stand With Crypto” PAC as having broad grassroots support among over a million “crypto advocates”, and boasts on its homepage of nearly $180 million raised by these advocates.
Its first quarterly FEC filing reveals it has had only $13,690 in contributions from seven people since its creation. Two of them work for Stand With Crypto and two of them work for Coinbase.

Tight security may be the reason that the GOP Convention isn’t filled with the homemade, and often wacky, stuff that’s usually gathered by Smithsonian political curators at the event to save for posterity.
Still, notable finds include plastic totes, ‘MAGA BLACK’ hats and Trump kippahs (from the Republican Jewish Coalition)

In case you were wondering, the far-right is blaming DEI for Trump almost being assassinated. Clearly if women weren't in the secret service, things like this would never happen. Clearly.
And for those who lean into conspiracies, when you rearrange DEI you do get DIE. Coincidence?? Well, yeah, but that won't stop some from believing it.

"#Vance’s oration is an important phase in the ongoing evolution of right-wing #Trumpism. With his nomination, the slapdash and xenophobic excesses of Trump’s prior two campaigns are becoming refined and sharpened into a potent, albeit bastardized, brand of pseudo-populist nationalism." - #ChrisLehmann

//In evolving dictatorships, the opposition is always weak and divided. That’s what makes dictatorship possible in the first place. Opposition movements rarely get stronger and more unified under the pressures of persecution. Today there is no leader for Democrats to rally behind. It is difficult to imagine that such a leader will emerge once Trump regains power.//

For folks upset about the #Trump case being thrown out over the unqualified prosecutor, remember that it was Biden’s administration that screwed that up by not having any of their properly appointed and qualified officials lead the case.
We really need to be holding folks like #Biden accountable for their screwups, and it’s just one more reason Democrats should dump him as their nominee.
But no, so many that are most disappointed in the guy’s performance are going to vote to keep him in power.
