(15,909 posts)...some other third-party candidate over Biden. I don't think I've seen the idea of Biden stepping down framed in the sense of "I refuse to support Biden if he doesn't step down".
As bad an idea as Biden stepping down is, I don't see suggesting that idea (which I'll bet even a few members of Biden's own campaign staff have contemplated, especially in the heat of the moment) as a form of lack of support, especially if motivated by the most important goal of the moment, defeating Trump.
Now, you're of course the (or one of the chief) rule maker(s) here, so what you say becomes the law of the land. If you're saying right now talk of Biden stepping down is a rules violation, so be it.
But even in your own recent post on the subject it seems more like you were treating talk of Biden stepping down as really dumb strategy, but still with that being your opinion, not a decree of forum rules.
My biggest concern is that I feel a lot of DU posters are getting to where they have a very cultish, inflexible, shun-the-infidels take on the way they react to other members of DU.
