I have a fair number of right of center coworkers. I wouldn't say "gleeful", but confused and amused for sure. And I can understand. The party is a "Big Tent" which means a lot of opinions and points of view, but c'mon guys. Pull it together.

PLEASE CALL EVERYONE WHO IS JUMPING SHIP AND the ones who are standing firm with Biden/Harris, just for good measure and to pressure the others!

Representatives:

Senators:
https://www.senate.gov/senators/

And call the White House and tell Joe and Kamala to stand firm!

Use the campaign site for your rep to write to them, they cannot do anything in their capacity as congress person, see the reply I got below and use the campaign website to contact your rep:

Thank you for contacting me. My delay in responding resulted from questions raised by the House Ethics Committee. It has now advised all Congressmembers that we cannot provide a substantive reply to questions related to President Biden’s 2024 campaign from our federal office. We have been instructed to direct all such communications to our respective campaign offices.

While we may not be in full agreement on one important issue, please know that I value your counsel and hope to continue hearing from you on federal issues.

Sincerely,

Blue Owl

I can see them looking down at "the little people" and laughing with an evil gleam in their eye -- they know tRump can't win on his own merits, so send some soft democrats a few million (a drop in the bucket for them) and watch them destroy the party from within because none of them can control their greed.....

Motherfuckers.

If the roles were reversed. The voters in the primary have spoken.

How can we claim to be the party of Democracy if we ignore that?

I haven't seen so much angst since the 2020 and 2016 primaries.

What we're seeing now is a small group of mostly white, Anglo male democratic elites trying to disenfranchise 14 million democratic party primary voters in the same way that 5 unelected GOP SCOTUS judges disenfranchised our entire country in 2000 to install their personally preferred White House occupant. Now SCOTUS judge Samuel Alito is Exhibit A for what a disaster that disenfranchisement was for our country. Our country will become a dictatorship if tRump gets back into the White House and this little ant-democracy cabal of white, Ango, male democrats is only too happy to help him do so. It's women, people of color, LGBTQ+, working people and environmental protection that will pay the highest price, not these anti-democracy, elitist, whte, anglo male democratic elites. They don't care. They want their faces on tv and their 15 minutes of fame. I really have no more words.
