1. Then just fucking get behind him and stop mewling about being "concerned."

Expressing all that "concern" just drags down others' support. Don't be afraid to stick your neck out and just say you support Biden, period.

4. Yeah I wish democrats would learn how to unite behind a candidate if only during the run up to the general election.

2. He's deeply concerned about Donnie winning, not about Biden.

If we reject the incumbent candidate and winner of the most delegates at this stage, we'll all be "deeply concerned" about Donnie winning no matter who the replacement may be.

5. Without this media onslaught and endless punditry there would be way less "concern". Get behind your candidate!

Notice they are virtually saying they want the "dam to break". Biden has already said he is in the race to stay.
This shit needs to stop.

8. Then we need to have Biden front and center in the "media" until the "concern" is assuaged

Just telling Democrats to get in line isn't going to have the desired impact. Right now we're in deep trouble whatever the source.

Biden needs to be doing townhall, press conferences and other unscripted events. The fact he isn't only hurts his candidacy.
